Christ man, check the NY DMV site....if its anywhere near as good as ours, it should spell it all out. Underneath the dirt, what color is it?

I'd say go for it.

You're going to need a clay bar. It's probably a swil mark mess, too.

:rofl: I'm sorry if I sounded a tad harsh. lol. I really didn't mean to.

If it's the blue I'm thinking of - kinda close to the Iceberg Blue Pearl on 7th Gen Preludes- then very cool!

More power to ya. Go for it. Hell, just take it.

j/k

Regarding cleaning the damn thing:
I think a pressure washer is going to be the first step, then numerous hand washes w/ soap and good sheep's wool wash mitts, then a deep cleaner (Meguiars #7 I think) then clay bar it, then color match wax, then paint detailer spray...


Good luck. :thumbup:
