Body:
I was able to remove some of "drainage or overflow" with mineral
spirits and some elbow grease. These guys must get that stuff
cheap, first it's free and then they just spray anywhere and
everywhere. Luckily I put my foot down and pointed out most of the
spots I didn't want touched but forgot about the hood. NO rusty
plastic on this baby now. ;-) You should've seen some of the other
cars they did, that crap was everywhere.
