Forrest Gump 9 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Feeling kinda lazy, this morning I took the barge thru Sax car wash on 5th ave. There were 5-6 older gentlemen standing and staring at my car being wipe down. When the attendant finish I stepped up to claim the car all the old guys dropped their jaws. One guy asked what year and they can't believe it's a 1980. Also got some free time around lunch so I peeled the nasty tint on the four windows. They were put on to stay. Still have the rear windshield, I'll tackle that tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Did the wheels clean up nicely? I've got some Sonax Full Effect, a Speedmaster wheel brush and a power washer to see how nicely we can get those to look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I peeled the back window tint off today, it was the easiest one ever, hardly any residual left. A quick windex wipe and I was done. I also peeled the sheep skin seat covers off too. Only one 2" tear in the driver bottom cushion. Hate to say this, but I missed the seat covers. Washing them right now, hopefully I don't ruin them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Gentle cycle, warm water. Air dry. DO NOT put them in the dryer if they are real sheepskin. I hand washed mine for the first couple of times. My mother, as a Christmas gift, bought be a set of nice, fitted, sheep skin covers for the '67 GTO in 1997 (not cheap universal autozone ones - ones actually made for my car). I think at the time I was a really ungrateful prick because I said "what do I look like? a degenerate old man hanging out at the OTB at noon on a Tuesday?". That summer however, when I was driving the car every day from Long Island to Queens, Brooklyn, and sometimes Manhattan for work, (with the heat on because it tended to overheat if it was hotter than 75 degrees outside) it was so nice to get out of that car and not look like I fell backwards into a 3" deep swiming pool because my back and ass were so soaked in sweat. Now I don't care how they look, they are still on the car and I love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
