So I went out and tore the VC off cleaned it up, hell my wife even let me use the kitchen sink... found that palmolive works the best, well atleast better then gojo...

cleaned the coil pack and spark plug wires up using old toothbrush and a very small amount of palmolive.

Heres what the VC looks like after the clear coat went on...
Pics doesent do this color justice at all, It's a three stage Candy apple red color... I'll put some pics up after It gets to sit for a bit and dry all the way...
