    First Wash in 23 Years: Barn Find FD RX-7 With 8800 Original Miles! | Satisfying Restoration! Today, we tackle the interior & exterior of a 1994 FD RX-7 with 8800 ORIGINAL Miles on it pulled out of a garage for the first time since 1999, that is covered in dirt and debris that hasn't been detailed in years that will require us to pressure wash the entire exterior, followed by a wash, clay bar and then polishing the paint to bring back its shine and a full interior detail including mold removal.
