Hello, all. I haven't been posting much, but we're still running five (not a misprint) 244s (1988, 1989, 2 1991s, and a 1992 with a '91 motor). The last big jobs were the motor swap in the '92 and a manifold-back exhaust system replacement on the '89 (was able to salvage the cat and use the header pipe form one of our parts cars).

I am in the process of sprucing the '89 up a bit. It has Volvo's dark red/maroon paint (solid color, no clearcoat) with a little oxidation on the upper surfaces. Can anybody recommend a good wax or polish to restore the shine to the paint?

The ubiquitous Volvo gray paint on the rockers needs touched up a bit. Does anybody have a color code for this shade, or better yet, a suggestion for a rattle can brand and shade that would look good?

Thanks, fellow bricksters!

PS - I'm going to do the R-134a conversion on four of the cars starting next week. With luck, they will be blowing icy cold 'bout the time chilly fall weather arrives!
