Get a pressure washer if you truly want a clean interior prepped for painting. Lew Phantman00 wrote: Good idea. Will a spray it yourself carwash that eats quarters work?

It should take less than an hour or so, and will do a much better job than a car wash spray. Now that you mention it, is the purpose of the pressure washer only to remove the flaking paint? I was thinking it was to remove the wax from the surface of the cured resin in preparation for the new finish. Could be for both I guess. But I'm sure the washer won't remove the old finish from anything but the seats. The finish on the interior bottom and sides is very well stuck on there. I plan on just leaving that the way it is.

I thought you meant you just cleaned the bottom with the washer but removed the paint with a putty kniife. Rick |
