This is a more reliable predictor than punxsutawney phil! I used a new to me product which worked well - Autosol Metal Polish. I know many have their preferences but from what I've tried this was pretty effective.

I also had a chuckle as I went to Lowes that morning and purchased a metric screw to replace one missing from one of my taillights. OCMACMAN had the same issue that I did when one slipped out of my fingers and went into the abyss. After looking for that thing for a looooong time with the car up on the lift and taking things apart I finally gave up. But wouldn't you know as I was cleaning one of the tips there it was hanging between the fender and the heat shield.

Looks great! One thing I do before the polish comes is to use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser first.
It gets all the soot and crap off the metal quickly without damage, then I use the metal polish.

Ha ha. I dropped one of those too. Found it though, and then it fell out on track. I, too, chuckled when I replaced it with one from Menards!
