How are you guys
even noticing what your ZF looks like?

As a poor man's solution, there exists a
tube of silver-colored paste
that was recommended on the Forum a few
years ago. I bought a tube at
the time and it cleaned up the ZF quite a
bit. I can see what the tube
looks like but don't remember what the
name was.
It doesn't look like a professionally
polished ZF case, but it looks a
lot better than stock. And if you drive
your Pantera any distance, or
in the rain, it's probably more practical

Michael, you mentioned the aluminum jelly
through amazon... my ZF is in
good working order, but the PO painted it
black and now the paint is
flaking off. Id like the case to be
natural aluminum, not polished or
painted. I also don't want to disassemble
the ZF, but it is out of the
car
right now. I've heard that 3M makes some
stripping products that are
gentle
enough that the ZF rebuilders use them
with good results, that are safe
for
the ZF case.
I can of course test it on an
inconspicuous area but would this
aluminum
jelly be the right product for my
application?
