I think this one will need a whole bottle of Meguiares to bring it back to life, and a little Brasso.

Brian, it has been run quite a bit, no big deal. The issue is it is just very dirty from being on display. I do have the motor and frame cleaned, need to get time to remove some of the trim from the shell and start cleaning.

That's natural weathering, part of its heritage !
