Today it's cold and rainy outside and I'm safe working in the garage. I'm cleaning the trim that goes around the windshield and rear glass on my fastback. It has dried tar that's forty years old, silicone (not from me) and paint overspray. I was able to scrap the big pieces of tar off using a plastic putty knife which thankfully didn't leave any scratches. Then I dipped steel wool in lacquer thinner and got to work. I thought it would be impossible to get all the crud off, but had a set cleaned in about half an hour using a lot elbow grease. Yahoo, I had no idea that it would be this easy! Now if I can figure out a way to pop out some of the dents and straighten some of the trim, it'll be ready to go back on the car!
