Re: scratches on delorean

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Dale - The best way that I have found to remove small cross-grain 
scratches in the DeLorean skin is to use Scotchbrite pads. They are 
available in several different "grits", depending on how fine a 
finish you want on your car. I use a finer grit that is dark brown 
in color to produce a satin smooth look without aggressive grain. 
The pads "flow" over the contours very easily, and it really is not 
that big of a challenge to maintain a straight line. Why don't you 
come to the next PNDC tech session, and we'll show you all about 
it. My records indicate that you are a member, so you are certainly 
welcome and encouraged to take advantage of these club benefits. 
Contact me off-list and I'll get you "plugged in". This same 
encouragement goes to all of you out there who belong to the various 
regional clubs, but are not using those resources. Active club 
members all over the country would like nothing more than better 
attendance at club functions. Come on guys ... use us!
