Look at ‘er Shine!

Thérèse was so impressed with 3M Perfect-It II Rubbing Compound‘s results that she just had to join in the fun.

While it certainly doesn’t repair gashes and chips, the compound did an outstanding job removing scratches and marks, oxidizing minor surface rust, and bringing back the Rally’s glorious shine. Unfortunately you won’t find this 3M product at your local AutoZone or Pep-Boys. I had to search high and low and finally picked up the last bottle at A-Line Auto Parts.

I highly recommend using a buffer if you can get your hands on one. In my case however the smallest pad I could find was 4 inches and even then the device would have been too large to work its way into the smaller areas. I resorted to good ol’ elbow grease and added a 1/2 inch to my biceps in the process… okay maybe not but it felt like it anyway.
