Car was sitting the last ten years but wasn't too dirty, just dusty. Lightly sprayed everything with Gunk, then went over it with my pressure washer. Let it dry a few days, then sprayed everything with Meguier's Hyper Dressing mixed 50/50 with water.

Wow! That looks like new!
Looks good.. Those cars seem to run forever..
Any pictures of the exterior or still cleaning that up? Excellent results with the engine bay. Smart diluting the dressing down to that ratio.
Haven't taken any good shots yet. Maybe this weekend.
Yip, Series ll is the best of the three if you ask me.
That's in great shape, recently bought or have you owned for a while?
We had '94 Olds 98 with the supercharged 3800 for several years, was a great car. I wouldn't mind another (88 or 98) if I could find one in decent shape. Used to be a lot of 88's on the road, and some 98's. They're seldom seen on the road now.

Does the Meguier,s leave a sticky mess that collects dust? Serious question.
I wouldn't say it collects more dust than without it, just that it may be more noticeable then without it after a few months. It's water based so a quick hosing off will take care of the dust or even an air hose.

He's a flipper who has a stash of cars like guys here have a stash of oil so who knows?
That engine bay looks really good BTW.
First sentence of my post mentioned I've had it sitting the last 10 years.
Very nice!
Just curious, they're getting harder to find around here, at least in decent condition. I thought it might have been a recent 'barn find' buy for you.
You missed a spot.
For real, like the hood insulation.
On mine, I've long wanted to remove it and try to at least rinse off the years of dust and dirt (as well as the sheetmetal it hides), but that would also mean having to remove the spring pins and redoing their alignment, so that part of the engine compartment has gone unaddressed.

No, you said it's been sitting 10 years, nothing about you owning it that long.
Are you selling the oldest inventory in the stash ?
