Experiments in ploshing



With both sides of the tail cleaned up I started to 'experiment' with some processes to see what works



First off I had to clean the remaining crud from around the rivet heads



The little Dremmel with a fiber brush and some Nuvite F7 did the job pretty quickly



Alright, on to the "controversial" stuff....



blue shop towels



of course I'm not planning to forgo the fleece and cyclo stuff, I'm just trying to see how close I can get with this



If nothing else, the blue shop towels are cheap and I'm doing my part to ensure we get those land fills topped off



Did I mention pits? Well I guess it's one of those things that only show up when you're "almost" there



What do you think Dan? close?... not even close?... pathetic?



The pits are what have me concerned. It doesn't look like they'll be easy to get rid of. so far I've only seen them on the tail
