Use car wash soap -- it's meant for cleaning paint. Dish detergeant -- not clothes detergent -- can be used to strip the paint, but it also dries out the paint and requires a fair amount of polishing ...

Check the emergency brake system. A surprise found by a few people with clunking in the rear brakes is due to one of the pins for the hold-down springs straightening or breaking. This allows the shoe ...
