hey Eric here is a little trick that Istumbled on to with my last miata

('94 RED).



while driveing one day last spring I picked up so gum that some idiot had

spit out onto the road.  when I got home I cleaned it off with some bug &

tar remover (I think it was made by turtle wax), which cleaned off all of

the gum.  after I washed and waxed my baby I discovered that the spots

where I had to clean off the gum with the b&t where alot shinier that the

rest of the nose cone.  You might want to give this a try.  It sure made my

baby alot more "cute"



Oh by the way I'm now the proud owner of a 96 Montego blue with leather and

a hard top.
