One little tip about cleaning your skins that worked for me. While I had them out I rolled them out on the lawn and used a small floor buffer with a scrub brush and soap to clean them up. I was then able to stand them up on edge by rolling them very loosely so that they would dry. A few pieces of grass on the back side hosed off easily enough once they were up on edge. If you don't have a floor buffer I suggest a good car was brush of some sort.

Good idea. These inner skins are dirty with a capital D. What kind of cleaner did you use to do the scrubbing with? I thought simple green would do the trick. Wish I had a floor buffer. I'll probably use one of those large car scrubbing brushes, with a long handle, as you suggest. It should double duty for cleaning the exterior when I get to that point. And as a scrubber to remove the paint thinner at the clear-coat removal stage.
