I worked hard...........just let you know i had drunk 3 bottles 1,5 litre each and had pissed only one time!!!

It was step work, first i had to clean the surface with wather to get away dirt and sand deposits, than i started with grinding paste 622 by a grinder with lower RPM, than used 3 step of polisch paste and Meguiars Shine wax. It would be more shine couse i have to get last hand of wax and shine it to a show quality like finish.

Anyway you should try a little piece before starting seeing how it works an than find your way, consider that where the paint is fade and gray base is in sight you could not shine as a mirror, it will be not last.
Thank you to everybody.

For how long did you piss?

Thanks for sharing. I agree, the problem is to get rid of the dried dirt in the paint. It takes ALOT of elbow grease to get rid off.

The wheels look great. They look like '66-'67 Type 1 wheels and the rears appear to be widened to 5½" or 6".
