You can see some of the swirls here and the dirty wheels (not shared in first post). Compare these to the post just above after polishing and waxing.

looking like someone has been spending some time falling in love

keep going to the garage to "check on her" dont worry, we all do/did

lots of people just spray paint the rusty lug nuts (bolts) - wow looks great!

I was actually thinking of duracoating some parts instead of painting them. If I can find complimentary colors it may be a great option.

At least I know I'm not the only one that keeps looking in the garage to just look at her. ;-)

Finally owning your dream car requires frequent pinching of one's self.

Wow vivid color. What color is it? The camera kind of changes the look. Guards red I'd think but it sure looks darker.

What to use to maintain leather and plastic inside (no Armor All)
Lexol Leather Cleaner and Lexol Leather Cleaner for the leather (I have also used LeatherCPR to bring back cracked leather)

1Z Einszett Cockpit Classic or 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium are both good for the vinyl and plastic.

Everyone has their own preference.

With that being said, I really like the Zaino Products. The leather treatment is the best I have used.

www.zainostore.com

Not saying much as I used to get all of my stuff from Discount Auto Parts.
