So, what does $100T2 do then?
This:
Before is on the left, after is on the right.
Nothing like a boring Friday night at home with a disassembled rear-end, 80 grit, and an electric sander. 22 years of grit, grease, and filth sure makes for a lot of work.

Yours didnt even look too bad before! Before I got mine sandblasted they were absolutely gross, you couldnt tell they were ever black. Seeing those I wish I had taken a picture lol. I think if you clearcoated those theyd probably actually look prety nice, whats the plan? are you going to paint them?

Nice work man. I did my spare tranny and rear end too, but I used the angle grinder with a wire wheel on it. Takes that junk off in no time, and shines it up like its been polished. Keep up the good work, you'll have a "new" car in no time!

I don't have the patience for all that sanding and grinding, that's why I built my own blast cabinet. As cleans as your's started, less than 10 minutes in the cabinet, and I get to stay clean and not breath all the dust.
Good job, and you do seem to have a lot of time on your hands, are you the hausfrau?

I just found out my air compressor will support a sandblaster, so it's go time as soon as I buy that.

Sandblasters are invaluable. With a couple hours plus some various polishing devices I got my wheels looking brand-spankin' new.

That sandblaster was kind of a disappointment.
