NEW VIDEO TIP on HOW to POLISH CHROME METAL using WENOL
Yeah it has been a bit since my last how to video, but this one is short and sweet. My good friend Vince Vespe told me about a product a while back called “WENOL.” A chrome metal polisher that comes in a toothpaste type of a tube. I could not find it on the shelves, so I bought it on eBay. You can use this stuf for a whole host of things other than metal. I have used it to clean scratches out of glass and on tail light lenses.
1954 Build-A-BuG Ragtop moving along nicely!
Still working on a lot of the tedious stuff this week, painted gas tank, installed carpet, and have been working on the ragtop mechanism for a few days now. We bought new parts for the mechanism, but those new parts were not allowing it to slide freely back and forth. Finally we got it, once again new parts just did not want to fit right, same ole song and dance with aftermarket. Take a peek here GALLERY PICS.
Until then, have a great weekend and a Happy Halloween!
