    Seatbelt oxidization?

    Yeah, I thought about a polish. Polishes normally leave the white residue afterwords though, due to the porous oxidization. If you scrape them with a piece of fine metal it normally brings back the finish. Just have to figure out how to due it in an even process. Its like scaling a snake without...

    Cleaning the seat belts?

    Sorry guys, OPC and APC? I would think APC is "All purposed cleaner"? I just remember back in the detailing days seat belts were hard as hell to get a consistent clean all the way through. Most of the time we dyed them. Thanks for replying! Nimo

    What to do with the paint?

    Thanks TL, The best I could find IMHO was Meguiars "Brilliant Solutions Paint Restoration Kit" locally. It got really cold here this weekend, so I had to postpone the job for a few days. I could order from Amazon too, if there is products that will do a much better job than the Mequiars I...

    What to do with the paint?
