The last two weekends the GTO's wheels, brakes, suspension and undercarriage got some well deserved attention.
Wheels were cleaned with WCW, clay barred w/DS as the lubricant, 4" focus pads were used on my corded drill with the orange pad w/SHR and the White pad w/FMP then Revive Polish was applied where I couldn't get the drill. Took 'em outside and scrubbed the tires with APC, then back inside to be dried. Applied MSW, BG and topped them off with a nice coat of Americana. Tires were treated with VRT fronts backs and treads then placed in the basement for the winter:
The Brake Calipers were cleaned with APC wiped down with Revive on the appropriate Hex applicator then massaged with a nice thin coat of MSW:
The Rotors Hats Vents and Fins were touched up with Dupli-Color High Temp Paint where needed.
On to clean the suspension. One pump, about one oz. of APC into a 1/2 gallon of hot water in a one gallon ice cream bucket per corner:
Now on to don a pair of nitrile gloves and (no it's not a sock puppet) an old worn out gym sock on my right hand to wash and a terry cloth towel in my left to dry. Helps to be ambidextrous:
I don't remember but I must have hit my head on sharp hard things a couple hundred times and cut myself on the edge of one of the catalytic converters four or five times, but ****:
Resonators and tips were polished with Metal Polish.
All rubber, plastic and vinyl got a nice even coating of the new VRT.
