The hood ride could use some neatness. Like to paint inside the front trunk,under dash/wiper motor area and down inside the inner quarter panels the defrost tubes run down. Its very gritty,grime for years. The big ? is how to clean the filth in these areas. Start with soap and H2O,dry with heat gun followed by metal cleaner.? Like to paint with Masterseries. The bottom lower wheel arches are open for repair right now. So got access from heater channel up to trunk lid hinges etc. If you know what I'm mean like to hear.

Soap,water & a toilet brush will work wonders usually. I wouldn't use a heat gun, but just let them air dry overnight.

A toilet brush is just the thing for all those hard to reach areas. Alright Mike.
