Location: Parts Unknown | My Plaza has the cloth interior and with power steering, got the fancy steering wheel, so it is pretty plush on the inside for a Plaza. No dashpad or radio, but underdash A/C ! It will be a funky car ! | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Can't really see it in the photo, but he got the pearlescent swirling PERFECT on it too. I still need to reanodize a few of the aluminum pieces, but all the chrome is done. It will be a real pleasing experience to see the world looking out over the wheel and dash of this Plaza ! | ||

Are you having the star-patterned dash trim pieces reanodized? If so, is your anodizing shop able to have them redone with the "dull background-shiny stars" original appearance?

Location: Parts Unknown | Not sure. I was looking more into redoing the grille and other parts that look "cloudy". | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | First, I will say be very careful and, if your interested, I will try and get the name of the stuff, but a truck detailer (truck cleaner) I know has an acid wash stuff used to get dirt staining out of paint and I used a bit on the anodized side strips for my dodge and I was surprised how well they came out No abrasive cleaning, just sprayed it on, scrubbed with a house broom and rinsed off (did that a few times to make sure the acid stuff was gone) Not as good as new, but not destroyed either (detail polished away) | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | The price quotes I got for reanodizing were surprisingly inexpensive. Nothing like getting something chromed. | ||
