Default I Have Been Polishing! I Have Issues, I Know!
I have become rather obsessed with cleaning the engine on my 993. These are my latest photos of my "steel wool polish". I am proud of my progress! I do drive my 993 but I am always quick to get her cleaned up after I enjoy the drive. The polishing is a continuation of my "Winter Remodel" https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...k-im-done.html

Thanks for all the positive comments. I know my cleaning "hobby" is not for everyone. I do drive it but not as a daily driver. It sees miles in the summer but very little in the Colorado winters.

I'm assuming you must have access to a lift to get that underbody to look like that?

I have a Bendpak 4 post lift. It does make it much easier. It was the best $2700 I ever spent.

I don't know what to say to that... Is there even an appropriate word for it?
