Thanks Klasse Act. First let me say I recently purchased this 1990 Miata from the couple who bought it new and kept it garaged it's entire life. I got the original manuals that came with the car + the receipts where he had it serviced or repaired. The paint was in pretty good shape so I polished it with No 7, waxed and sealed. I detailed the interior but still have a few spots on the seat to remove.
One area he did not maintain was under the hood. I spent 8 hours detailing under the hood and in the engine bay. I used brushes, towels and Simple Green Aluminum for Precision Parts cleaner because it is safe on aluminum parts and paint. Here is a before picture.
2008 Toyota Tacoma 410,000 miles and still going strong.

If I could make it to the fifth day and not having the ride looking like a rolling peach fuzz, I'd declared "VICTORY."
