    I powerwashed it at the quarter wash for 30 minutes, going ever every nook and cranny. I brought it home, sanded out places where there chips in the paint and feathered them out. I didn't do any bodywork. I plan on using it offroad primarily, so I wasn't concerned about little dents and what...
