nice score, clean machine!

Thanks!, that's the before picture, it's cleaner now.  I've put about 9 hours total into working on the paint.  I used Meguiars Fine Cut Cleaner to get alot of the imbedded dirt and grime off followed by two coats of polish followed by two coats of wax.  I was worried what to use to clean up the plastic chrome around the push buttons because I read that real chrome polish would just mess it up, I found that Meguiars quick detailer did a great job on that, that part of the machine just shines now.  

The machine still has a fair amount small dents and a bit of surface rust in a few places but short of a restoration I think it looks really good.  Next steps are soda can spacers and the upgraded coin mech and it'll get to be a for profit vending machine again Smiley
