Topic: Door Sill Plate Cleaning

[Alpha1946]

What type of finish should the door sill plates from 64.5 convertible produced in  June 1964 look like and what should I use to clean them without destroying their original finish. Mine are original and not very dented just very dirty.

Only guesses -(Haven't done a rough set yet)

- OxyClean or similar and medium brush
- Aluminum cleaner
- Brasso followed with a light wheel cleaner (acid base) keeping ti wet at all times to reduce the shine as I do with my retinned gas filler necks

Just some thoughts - and possibilities

Thanks Jeff.

I just want to make sure that I don't destroy the original finish.

IF your looking at protecting the original finish you can't do much more than clean them with soap and water and coat them with some wax - to reduce the chance of corrosion/electrolysis that sometimes takes place with two different metals are in contact with one another for a period of time
