Wheel well cleaning

Hi Robert:

My car will not be ready for SITM, but I'll try to be there to soak-in the culture. I'll bring it along...

BTW, I'm told that the lady who makes them is a Porsche employee and does this on the sideline. I was asked to remove her URL from my Rennlist post so as not to expose her. (Makes sense...).

Are you planning to be at SITM in a few weeks? I would love to see how that luggage cover looks in person.

BTW. Now that is Elbow Grease... Good luck with the process. You are right about the one thing leads to another. It could realistically go on forever. But then they would never get driven.

Here's a few photos of my new luggage cover as made my sandra in germany. Absolutely spot-on in appearance, she is using natural materials rather than the synthetic-based materials porsche used as oe. As much as the synthetic had some elasticity to it (much like a one size fits all baseball cap), the material deteriorated over time. My 24 year old cover would just about fall apart in your hand. The natural fibers in sandra's cover will endure. Her email (for reference) is: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I am hugely impressed by her craftsmanship.

i want i want!

Good story Bob.
I have washed a lot of parts with gas and varsol but one thing I did notice as it may remove the grease but they dont mix with dirt very well. The washing with water after using gas or solvents seemed to be a must to remove the muddy gas, and then it seemed to be spotless.


after brad cleans car with gas

LOL!

Just rolled back in from the garage. I bought a gallon of K1 Kerosene at Home Depot yesterday along with some Scotch Brite pads. I lightly soaked a pad and it worked perfectly! Kerosene is not unlike gasoline, and it worked just like gas did 42 years ago.

Anyone want to buy a gallon can of Acetone, Lacquer thinner or Mineral Spirits? (tried them all.....)

Robert:

BTW, Sandra sent along a large swatch of the material she uses for the cover. I'm happy to send along a piece to you? Let me know...

Hi Bob.

I would appreciate a small sample if it's not to much trouble.

Good luck with your project. I envy your motivation.
