I think this is the route I should go. The car was literally under covers for the past 25 years, so I suspect NO maintainence was done at all (as evidenced by the 25 year old gas). Once I got it and got it going again, it started getting out into the sun, something that dawned on me when we were at the Indianapolis event earlier this year, parked in the nice sunny day in the infield. I through a towel on the dash, and decided I need to get a dash carpet right then.
I think I'll stick with water for cleaning and dash carpet for protection.
Thanks.
What kind of oil should I use?
