    Step by step with 1983 VW Vanagon

    Thanks! The work is still holding up really good and shines beautiful right now. Haha, thank you very much! I really like the outcome. I have some chrome bumpers that needs some polishing now but first - small coolant leak from thermostat housing:(

    Thank you for the link! I will check it out. Edit: Just gave it a quick read through - bummer, I wish I had read this before I started. Lesson learned. Next time I will let it soak overnight and use a generous amount. Again thank you for the link.
