Many soarers have these white spots showing up on the woodgrain, so this makes soarer look old. Lucky for us all, one man was destined to find the remedy for this nasty disease.

Ok, this is what to do->

1.) Get the following;
>1200 wet and dry
}
Upload


>Cutting compound

Upload


>Polish,any or Mother's phase 2 polish

2.)
Take the wood grain off (how to do it->

And then get to work, get some bowl of water so you can dip the sand paper(1200 wet&dry) and start sanding (keep it wet). Be careful some spots have thin lacquer, i made few spots it went through.
After you've done sanding, check it and then use the cutting compound,
clean off the cutting compound, and apply the polish, polish it nicely and there you go, it looks great doesn't it?
Here's mine

it would be nice to have our own Tute for removing the wood grain. i cant seem to find it! i know how to get the door ones off nice and easy and they are coming along great. but i cant figure out how to get the front dash one off. all i can tell is that i need to unscrew the 2 nuts in the glove box.
