The AL TRIM:
Thinking about having the Aluminum clear anodized.
Was thinking about anodizing them myself, however the sticks for the doors and over the front and rear glass are 3-1/2 - 4 feet so it would take a fairly large tank to anodize. CLEAR is pretty simple, the question is the amount of current and whether a rectifier would be required or would a battery charger supply enough current?
The Lenses,
I used dripping water along with palmolive and
1. Wet sand 1500 on the worst scratched lenses
2. Wet sand all with 2000 until the scratches were all the same...
3. Wet sand with soap 3000 trizak until consistent
4. hand polish with soft cotton cloth balled up using fine cut Meguires
5. hand polish with NEW cotton cloth using with swirl remover
My printed circuit board was DELAMINATING so after removing it.
1. I got out a sheet of parchment paper (NOT WAXED PAPER) and
2. an old clothes iron, set it to the lowest and worked up until somewhere around 180 deg.
3. Put a hand towel on the granite counter and
4. laid the circuit board down over the towel
5. laid the parchment over the plastic circuit board
and then IRONED it back together...
It took a while as I worked slowly with as low a setting on heat as would make it stick back together rather than risk melting it. (the first time it was only 125-130 deg and it was not hot enough.)
