How do I clean an ashtray?
I pulled the ashtray out of my car and it is nasty. I tried scrubbing it with a brillo pad but it still looks bad (see pic). Is there a way to clean or restore the inside?

Glass bead it and paint it or send it to Bill Oxley for a restoration

wpoxley@comcast.net I did a batch of these for other members on the board last year. I can make it look new again, BUT... there is no way to replate over the pits . I have seen many that look worst than yours come out looking brand new. The key is using the proper plating. I preach this all the time, but if you replate in zinc, it will be too shiney and not look correct. My guy(one of a handful who has EPA lisence to use real Cadmium) uses cadmium. Others can attest to how good and originalk mine look. I will do another batch if I can get 5 or more ashtrays from fellow PY's posters... Shoot me an email.. Bill Oxley |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
