By the way like to say only thing your garage needs is a couch and bed, then you can move in and look at your car every night. lol

im glad that stuff is happening again on the car now!!!
 
As far as cleaning... I used simple green... get a gallon, dilute it to the strength you want.. toothbrushes can help in tight areas... i always rinsed with water after, didn't want to leave any residue. I also picked up one of those pressure sprayers (Flo-Master 1401HD Pump Sprayer 1 Gallon: J) and used that to spray the simple green..

Thanks man! we already have 2 of those sprayers so that will work great!
