Update on this rescue: DH found the rotary shaft was bent, someone used a pliers on it. There is one little place when you turn the wheel where it lags. We ordered a "new" Used one last night.
If this machine could talk.
We use TR-3 Resin Glaze, it is a cleaner/ shiner all in one. Although I think I would get some orange cleaner and use that first. Then clean and shine it up with the TR-3. All available at Auto parts stores. Our son painted it on with an old paint brush. Broke off QTips and stuck them in any oil holes to keep them clean. We used cotton batting for the clean up. As a LAQ I have more scraps than I know what to do with!
