*Cleaned up my cobra, 56k Warning*
Started cleaning up the car last friday with a trip to Kevins(04sleeper) to polish the catback and roll the fenders (thanks again Kevin.) After that got the car home and put the car up on jackstands for several days and cleaned up.

on the way to Dallas


Exhaust pre polishing, man it was nasty




Added MRT chrome rolled tips





rolling fenders


After the trip back the car was dirty, plus I have not gotten a chance to really clean this car up since I bought it.




Did a quick clean up of the under hood, it wasnt to dirty
Before



the Tools




Cleaned up, still needs some dressing on the plastics


cleaned and sealed the top with ragtop cleaner


Before pics of fenderwells, gas tank cover etc










wheels were nasty







rear fenderwell coated and painted the rear calipers black to match the front




sealed the front brakes with poorboys wheel sealant, used poorboys boldnbright on fender plastics





used aircraft paint stripper and steel wool to clean the paint and dirt off the wheels, then used some meguiers chrome polish and poorboys wheel sealant on them











Gas tank cleaned and dressed with poorboys


clayed the fender lips and rockers
before


after




then clay barred the entire car


TEASER PICS OF MY TF Wheels, tires should be here text week




had already cleaned the inteior, but addes some MGW interior stuff



And finally the car clayed and waxed

What a detail!

The pipes are amazing. What grit sandpaper did you use on the exhaust pipes?

We wet sanded the exhaust starting with 100 grit, working up to 2000 grit. Then used a cotton buffing wheel with mother mag&alum polish.

Good god, Garlen. I'm borderline hating you right now.
I need to leave the Bullitt with you for a weekend or so. I'm envious of your patience.
