Auto Salon - Ideas and Help

[paulr33]

Hi Guys,

My r33 is gonna be autosalon and Ive got the friday off to make sure the car is nice and clean and ready to go. its a stock series II with tv / dvd / stereo. ive got some sticker goo stuck on the window where previous rego stickers and shit have been and also a soft mark / scrape on the left hand side of the front bar

do you guys have any ideas / tricks to get off sticker goo from the window and maybe touch up the front bar?

will post pics of scrape mark

also i wanna clean up the rims, they have marks from shit like brake dust and stuff, no cracks or dints, just dirt marks on them which dont come off from normal clean

like metho or something to clean them?

For the sticker goo try and get this stuff called De-Solvit, little plastic bottle with and orange on the front. For the wheels try using maybe brasso?

Mate, I always use eucalyptus oil on the goo, it makes things like chewing gum come out of carpet. Plus it leaves your car smelling realy nice.

Yeah, use De-Solvit, works like a charm.. you can get it in your local supermarket. As for your rims, use Autosol to give it a nice shiny look. And for the scratch.. try rubbing it with mineral turbintine, but not sure if it will work completely...

For your wheels take them off and use regular car cleaner if they are Silver coated (unsure from the pics) if they have a machined lip then use a metal polish liek Brasso or Autosol, I have also found that the Amway metal cleaner works wonders as well.

Also when you initially clean them, as I have done for many cars incl winner best paint for Jambo is take them off and wash them with HOT water and Morning fresh!!!
