It's cleaning and detailing weekend. Thinking of trying out one of the restoration products for black trim.

Most likely Mothers. Any suggestions?

I've heard great things about meguiar's plast-x

>>17766657
You can try acetone on the metal parts and rust removing solvent on the tower there, make sure to let it dry for a good long while though

Not much to it. But the accessibility is good for a complete amateur to work on it.

I need to clean it, because it sure ain't this pretty after the miles I've put on it in a year.

>>17767195
That feeling when car was gloriously undercoated every year since bought, but the downside being the engine bay looks like shit and theres grease all over the lower body panels.

Can't touch the fucking thing without turning everything up to my elbows black

My pic was after a fresh cleaning with a rag and degreaser, took me a few hours but man it was worth it. Honestly the hardest part is just gathering the gumption to get started, once you do that your autism (should) take over until it's spotless.

From the previous owner, no. Got this car no more than a month ago. The guy was good with cars, but he couldn't solve a vibration problem, and gave up on it, thus leading to the car sitting for a year with little to no tlc.

As for the rust, it's just the air filter top, so if I can get so code red rust remover or something and soak it one of these days, it should improve how it looks exponentially.

>>17770737
Doesn't look so bad in this pic honestly, as soon as you get that rust removed and the cracked rubber replaced it'll look pretty good

>>17770769

My thoughts exactly.
