if i was you scott i whould waxoil it up so you can then use it and not cry if it rains, also when you come to sell it can be cleaned off by the new owner if they want to with out to much hard work. Then use your car like i do, why do you think i have never done concours with my car ? the reason is it spoils the fun you can have with it and turns the car into somethink that you are scared to use incase you get a stone chip or get some dirt on it, just use it and injoy the 400 bhp, like i am going to do with mine as i might evern do a track day with mine as i have the bug again for it asfter taking it round at national day, dont sell or you will regret it big time evern more so when you see it driving around or parked up at a show next year.
that my thourghts on it as i have had the same cheers dunc
