Nice work on the GTO. What did you use to clean up the floormats?

Thank you, I think I ended up using the Little green machine with simple green diluted 50/50 agitated the mats then used the little green machine with a formula of dawn dish detergent, four drops per tank fill of water, After allowing them to dry and then giving them a quick vac, applied scottguard to prevent stains.
 
Looks much beter. Few words of advice...



First: for your assessment, you should pick up some halogens. The one and only shot with sun on the finish seems to show a bit of defect. Since you were using 105, I'm assuming you were intending correction???



Also, if you view your before and after of the engine compart., you pressure washed finish from the injector rail covers. On this car it may not be an issue but, if you ever find yourself servicing something a bit higher end, you could find yourself in some trouble. Also, you missed the lower eng compart and frame rails. But, aside from that, you're making some good progress!!



Good Work!!

Okay thanks for the advise, where do you get halogen lighting?, how many? what size bulbs?



The Injector rail covers were already chipping and flaking, used low pressure on them, What do you use to reach the lower engine compartment, I used a towel and tried to clean as much as I could of the engine?
 
Lights...Home Depot - $40 for 500 watt halogens. I think you could likely get away with a better degreaser - maybe citrus?? - and directing your pressure at the areas. I just mentioned the injector rails covers because it's pretty obvious that more silver was missing. Might be a service to offer future clients - refinishing the covers??

Okay ill go pick some up today, doing a car right now has some sort of yellow haze on the clear, im thinking its oxidation?
 
I bought a set up of two 500w halogens on a work stand, I'm working on a silver car now and can't really see anything, added a lot of light and heat haha
