If you

How are you guys

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?
