Getting some things ready to go on the car, I did some searching on here about the Sparks SS emblems and unfortunately there are quite a few posts about how poorly these age. So in an attempt to preserve them I spoke to some people about clear coating them, clear powder coating them or possibly using a chemical coating....none of them panned out and most of them just referenced me to protecting them the best I can with standard detailing products.
Being that this car spends its life garaged and only sees sunny weekend afternoons out, I think their largest enemy would be hard water from being washed and not dried fast enough.
And yes before anyone asks, I'm not just doing the front markers. USPS lost the rear ones and now I'm having to go back and forth with the ebay seller about it. I'll have one more update before the car leaves for the body shop in a few weeks.
