Subject: Marks on tan top/alloy wheel cleaning/club trips
   Date: Fri, 7 Jan 1994 11:10:44 -0500

Time for my monthly posting of questions/comments...

(1) Has anyone with a tan top noticed black marks on the edges of the folds
where it rubs against the inner liner when the top is down? I took it to
my dealer and they said it was dirty, wash it off. Well, I tried and it 
doesn't wash off. 

(2) When my car was new the alloy wheels had some discoloration on them
that wouldn't wash off. In a moment of inspiration, I grabbed the bottle
of Mequires polish for the rear window (#10 I think) and used it on the
alloy wheels. The stains came off, and an added benefit is that the brake
dust doesn't seem to stick as bad. I think the alloys are coated with
something and I guess this polishes it???

(3) I've taken several trips with my local club (Lone Star in Dallas/
Fort Worth) where we had 20+ cars traveling together. This can be a major
problem for the other traffic. We even had some people passing us on the 
shoulder on I-35 last year! Have any of the other clubs found a solution?
