Thanks and Things

[Michael Pike <iqintermedia@xxxx>]

First, I would like to thank everyone here for
replying to my "newbie" questions on here. I think
its great there is so much support for such a great
car. I was scared at first, but I think I will find
help when I need it thanks to this group.

Are there any Delorean owners in or around the
Albuquerque, NM area? I know there is atleast one
other in town, but not sure if that person is on this
group or not. The guy I bought this Delorean from was
not internet saavy, he had no idea about all the
resources on the net.

Second - another dumb newbie question.... as I
mentioned before, the car I have is in pristine
condition, not a spec of rust, or even a ding. The
guy told me he uses copper/silver polish, followed by
a coat of Eagle-1 (armourall type product) on the
stainless steel, and if any scratches show up, he uses
a brillo pad and gently rubs them out.... however, he
did not mention if it's safe to take the car to a
standard pressure wash type car wash (no brushes, the
standard high powered spray)...

I need to wash this thing soon, and want to make sure
I keep the same level of care he did, as it's in
excellent shape. So - is regular car wash safe? Are
there certain areas that shouldn't be washed because
of exposed engine parts or anything?

Also, the car has black leather interior... flawless,
partly because the thing was rarely driven... I plan
on taking it out atleast once a month, if not atleast
once every two weeks, and owuld like to retain the
great interior - are there any LEATHER seat covers
that go over the seats for the Delorean, and if so,
where would one fine them?

I noticed a thread about brake lights going on also -
much to my dismay, I found the second flaw with my new
Delorean, the gas gauge was first, and thanks to a
fellow driver, I now realize I have no brake lights
:(.

Someone told me to check the fuses, which I will do,
if it turns out not to be the fuses, whats the next
most common problem, and is it pricey to get it fixed?

I can live without a fuel gauge if I must, but no
brake lights will cost me a fortune in tickets -
because the car is already a target, without
violations.

thanks,
Mike
