Quick detail job today (48' Merc Woodie)

Someone was borrowing our woodie for a wedding this weekend and it'd been a good year since it'd been cleaned.

Just washed it and threw a coat of S100 on










metal latches? Who needs them




soon i'm gonna tackle the suspension, i'll probably do it when I polish out the car, it really could use a polishing.

How do you guys store it, with a cover?

How do you treat the wood panels?

no cover, the suburban the only one that's covered. I really need to tackle all the cars and then start covering, the caddy hasn't been washed in 5 1/2 years

Nothing you can really do to the wood, lysol (really, nothing though, no one really knows what to put on them from what i've seen)

It really needs to be revarnashed but that's like a 15-20K job
