Well Neil, I didn't know that I had found gems, as in the plural
sense, but hold your thought until you see pictures. Looks a little
rough, in my opinion, but I stopped by a friend house on the way home
and he brought out several McDougal's restore products and we sprayed
here and there and everything was coming back! This vehicle sat in the
sun quite a bit, so the fiberglass bumpers and pop top are very faded,
but when we sprayed these products on there, it all miraculously came
back. In short, I'm feeling pretty good about it so I'm looking
forward to posting before and after pics.......so here goes, I'll be
right back.......
Oh and thanks for your support!!
Miguel
