    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    I remember using steel wool. Went through a fair amount. The was some good instruction here earlier. I did all of mine in the basement over the winter. Had to ventilate. Only remember one application of oven cleaner, but did remove it with steel wool. I would google it. I am also going to grab...

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    I haven’t really driven the car much and now it is in the beauty parlor getting a new interior. I can’t even go check! The guy has a Covid fear and doesn’t like me dropping by. But he sends pics! Included below. My recollection is that it has not changed much. But re reading this thread got me...

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    Oven cleaner. Works like a charm. It has to soak and it needs a lot of ventilation and rinsing. I’ve done a pile of it. Haven’t done it in a few years, but it is all you need.

    Before I hurt myself or cause more damage....

    The FSM started with some crazy method to remove the glass first and then the regulator. I didn’t read much further than that before looking here and finding out I can sneak it out the bottom. I’ll read further and see what they reco. there are a couple of holes that look like they line up...

    Before I hurt myself or cause more damage....

    ... I’m sure someone knows what to do here! I understand the spring with unwind if I simply remove the motor. How do I need to secure that spring or the components it is holding... Thanks in advance.

    Generic question, but applies to 60 Fury....

    OR...I could just try some solid core wire and twist it. Same effect. Thanks folks. I’ll have this car at Moparfest in August. Had my wagon there in the arena last year. I knew someone here would know. I hope someday I can answer someone’s questions. For the last couple years and the...

    Generic question, but applies to 60 Fury....

    Awesome thinking. I went for the tool not the consumable. I could find these and just tap the tag ends in.

    Generic question, but applies to 60 Fury....

    ...I have wheel skirts that need new seals. I got suitable welting, but I need some help attaching it. Right now the perished welting is stapled in. See pic. I’ve pulled a couple of staples. Not salvageable. I’m worried a screw would have a profile that won’t let the skirt mate properly and...

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    The guy at White Diamond said to rub until i got black then wait. Similar to brasso, but brasso you have to work it to get black. And it stinks. And Brasso blackens rags quick too. But i found the white diamond required the least elbow grease.

    Bought some brasso. It performed similar to White Diamond. Put it on, rb in a little till you get black, wipe off. But Brasso does have a distinct odor they worked out of the Wite Diamond.

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    I found my thresholds were heavily abraded vs. just plain filthy and tarnished like the grill. I did a pretty good job polishing my thresholds with a series of wet sands and a high polish buff on the wheel.

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    Yeah, brasso hits the palate like an industrial solvent and finishes with a hint of Sokolove lawsuit.

    I would buy one if I thought immersion would work. Maybe my next experiment.

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    I would have tried Brasso, I used to work my fingers to the bone polishing brass for my mom, but I tripped over this first. My reaction to this was ‘just like brasso’. So I will get some and compare.

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    FOUND THE MIRACLE CURE. Took a chance on a product at a tent at the Daytona Turkey Run. $10 and they said if it worked I could get more at Walmart of all places. Rubbed it on till it turned black, very quick and little pressure. Let it sit a few seconds (they said a few minutes) and voila...

    How would you clean this aluminum trim?

    It is definitely anodized aluminum. I have been down all those roads. My 77 T&C had it all de anodized and polished like chrome and, yes, will need regular maintenance. I was hoping to find a miracle cure to separate the dirt and grime film from the anodized surface and then just polish the...

    Sure. Got a 15 year old. Not sure how they would get that clean with a smartphone.
