Photos 556 - 558 - Using my Harbor Freight special da polisher I run over the dash face with some Mequiars 105 since I had previously had #7 soaked into the paint prior.  Note the lack of paint in and around the knob areas.

Now that the defrost duct, heater box, controls & radio are now in I touched them up from all the handling.  303 is the product I'm trying on the duct work.
