A geezer is some old dude, Me, at least that's what kids called me for years as I could get deeper inside to get all the waves LOL

I used Maguiars Cleaner Wax since all around the car the groove's above and below the trim were filled with years of skank and gunk. Waxing the flat surfaces was easy it was those 40' of stinking grooves the wore my fingernails off shoving the rag into them and scrubbing back and forth until they were as white as the car. One bummer is after I was done I could drag my nails across the paint and could feel the crap that falls from the air, it wasn't allot but it does need some rubbing out. It was pretty cool how many scratchs disappeared with some rubbing especially the door knobs where my wife leaves fingernail marks, they were gone. Next I gotta find me some kind of 5" LIGHT sander type air tool to use for rubbing it out with turtle polishing compound, then a good caot of turtle carnuba wax. What's weird is either my 89 was completly stripped and repainted with no clear coat, or its never had any, cause the paint is nothing but nice tough thick white paint.
