Fixing a HEAVILY oxidized test panel!
 
Here's a write up from our friends at Adam's Australia:



Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

Some of you may have seen a recent post of mine regarding a hood/bonnet found at a local Wrecker.

The back story can be found here: Adam's Polishes Results - Adam's Polishes Forums

Mook asked if I had taken pictures of the process and I did, so here they are.
