Wheel refinishing/Deep stainless cleaning

["Luke Sandel" <ls@xxxx>]

Hello all,

I'm getting the materials around for repainting the faschias, and 
wanted to have the wheels repainted as well. Does anybody have 
appropriate color codes for the later style wheels (82)? A buddy of 
mine owns a body shop, and he said that he'll blast and repaint for
$35 a rim... can't pass that up.

With only 9000 miles, you would think that the rims would be in 
pristine condition, but there is some odd paint blotchyness on a few
of them. Seems to be factory original.

Also, the garage that I keep my car in is below an apartment that has 
an occassional water leak. The garage also has a dryer vent in it. 
The water leak, combined with lint from the dryer vent has left very 
deep, very awful water spots on the hood. Any recommendations for a 
good STRONG chemical cleaner? (besides gasoline, but I'm not above 
using horribly caustic chemicals :) Tried repeated washings, windex, 
stainless polish... the spots just laugh it off and come right back.

On a side note, while showing my car to some people the other day,
one mentioned that he cleans large stainless tanks at his workplace. 
He swears by baby oil applied by cheesecloth; says that it keeps them 
extremely shiny, and keeps fingerprints away. Anybody ever tried
this?

Thanks!
Luke
