Pretty happy with it so far. Had to quit because the wind was so crazy the hood wanted to leave me!

Heres what it looked like before...

Simple green and hot water cleaned it up pretty nice i thought. Hit the hoses and plastic with some vinyl and rubber cleaner and called e'r good. Didn't get that sticky shine like armor all does either.
