This weekend, I turned my attention to the seats as they need to be ready to take to the upholstery shop. I had a set of hinges that I had scavenged from another car. These hinges are in great shape. They have a few nicks, but nothing too eye catching. I also had about a half dozen of the chrome caps and a decent set of the tear drop shaped black plastic covers.
I elected to buff the paint on the hinges using, believe it or not, Turtle Wax Polishing Compound. The paint on the hinges is a pretty durable finish that should last a long time. A little poshing should restore the original lustre.
Next, I used the same Turtle Wax Polishing Compound to polish the tear drop shaped black plastic covers and the black plastic knobs used to raise and lower the seat back.
The chrome caps were buffed using some of Eastwoods various buffing compounds. I had to be careful buffiing. Too much heat would cause the chrome to separate from the plastic and ripple. I plan to clear coat the caps.
