This is the rubber shield on the top of a wheel skirt. The adhesive is easy to remove, doesn't bond with the rubber and comes right off the painted skirt without causing any damage. I need to repaint the skirt so I'll need to remove and reinstall the rubber afterwards and I'd like to use the same adhesive. Please see link for video as well! Thank you! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vFAKlHo--0gcr88yQ0mnyeK1mC9CrP5v/view?usp=sharing

I have a few 50's cars and a '29 Nash. Would be great to know the ins and the whys of washing a certain way. Although I'd generally stay conservative with less potentially harmful chemicals anyway.

How do you wash your classics and are there any particular products to use or avoid with classics? It goes unsaid that two bucket soap and rinse handwashing is most appropriate but are there any other special considerations? Thanks!

Happy weekend everyone, I have on order a convertible top manual for my 58 Impala. However shipping is delayed. Does anyone know where I can find an online or printable version of such a manual or any similar convertible top manual I could peruse? Also seeking a manual for a 55 Mercury Montclair and 57 Oldsmobile Starfire. At the moment I'm just after the manufacture instructions as opposed to original manuals. Thank you in advance!

I have been reading every bit! Haven't had the time to properly respond yet but I definitely intend on continued engagement but perhaps not non stop At the moment I'm trying to procure the proper owner manuals. I believe these cars are painted with just a single stage. Is superficial polishing a concern in this case (to remove swirls)? A ceramic coat can last a couple decades without needing to wax with the way these are driven and stored. I suppose I could ceramic coat them without polishing but it will essentially "lock in" the current condition of the paint.

Hi everyone, What you see is a '55 Montclair, '57 Oldsmobile & '58 Impala However, I am relatively new to classic car maintenance. I have a mechanic look after these but I would like to now get more involved and well read regarding at home maintenance. This would include preservation best practices, paint care, interior care etc. For example, is a ceramic coat on these cars a good idea? What about on the chrome? They are stored in a heated garage year long. I am mechanically inclined but time is my limiting factor so I prefer not to take on large tasks that leaves the cars disassembled and unable to enjoy at a moment's notice! I welcome any and all tips or directions to valuable resources. Thank you!!!
