Thanks for the warm water and oxy-clean tip!

For those that have not tried it yet, it works really well. We had a rain day here on Saturday - so I spent it in the garage going over the black vinyl top and interior in the Chevelle. Like you mentioned, I thought it was pretty clean until you see what's on the white towel and in the bucket after you are done.

Your dad would be proud, you are doing his car justice. I really have enjoyed watching your progress.

I am a big fan, this is motivation for me to turn my car back into a car so I can do all these detail items.

Love your thread and your dedication to doing things right to preserve your '68.
