    My son goes off to college soon and I gave him my old gal here. Its a 94 and she's only got around 36,000 miles on her.

    The paint was in bad shape.....lots of tree sperm and bird crap and all kind of nasty biological crap.

    What was not green and growin' was already raising its young.......:picture:

    We washed, clayed, and used Mozerna and an orange pad....Ubelievable how the ol gal cleaned up. Doggone it I forgot the B4 pics...so you'll just '
    hafeta trust me. It wuz N A S T Y ! !

    That sucka is 6 tt 6........

    clothing and shoes are a nightmare for a kid this size.....
    ;)

    I used simple green and elbow grease and brushes........and toothbrushes to get in the itty bitty places......then I rinsed it and then used off the shelf engine degreaser.......waited about 2 heinikens and hosed it off with a shower stream.....then a blowjob with the leafblower

    and some water based non greasy dressing safe for rubber......
