Re: [DML] T-Bar Discoloration

The Scotch-Bright pad will not cause deep scratches, therefore it is safe to
use. As far as where the brown came from, I'll have to leave that question
to one of the metal experts on the list. If you check into the very involved
process to manufacture the bars (DeLorean World Magazine) you may find a
clew.
