I did a lot of soaking and scrubbing to get the road tar and such off. I used a blue ScotchBrite pad, and it scratched the metal a little. If I did it again, I think I might try the pink one or a Dobie pad instead. Another thought would be to try acetone or oven cleaner to dissolve the tar. I used Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish to finish it up.

Hoping to be buying a house soon with a garage so I can do a full detail on mine again. Parents moved and I can't get up their new driveway so, no more garage for a little while

Some really nice details in here

Looks amazing guys but what did you wash your car with the first time around, sand paper? Never seen so many swirl marks in paint before.

Either way, im envious.
