I wish he would remember to log out!!!!!!

Jeff and I were just brainstorming about this yesterday.  I know that the outside will clean up so-so with a liquid cleaner wax, or pretty much any cleaner solution and a little rubbing.   But I want more, so here are some ideas.

1. CLR  its some stuff thats supposed to break away calcium, lime, rust, oxidation etc.   If it works like in the commerical, you can just mix a solution and soak the entire assembly in it (after removing it from the car of course...)

2. Plexiglass cleaner + rag on a stick.  Although somewhat crude the plexi cleaner should work wonders.  Just get the same stuff sold at autozone to clean convertible plastic rear windows.

Im gonna be trying the CLR thing soon, so I'll let you know if that works, or if it destroys my headlights <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

One word my friend... toothpaste. Yup, the stuff you clean your teeth with. I've heard of other people using it for this problem and it supposibly works.

McGuire's plastic cleaner and polish with a high speed buffer. if you don't hae a high speed, just do it by hand, but it'll take longer.

If its on the inside I cant help you <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> sorry but if its on the outside use Blue Magic Metal Polish use some elbow grease <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> it also works on paint scrapes from other cars
