Just sand it back with wet & dry. There's a DIY in the DIY section oddly enough

I have bought all the stuff to do it. If you want you can bring your car around and we can go over them.

Was considering buying bduffmans at one stage.

haha. and I don't need an FTO. There's heaps of previous FTO owners on this site that still attend regular meets.
