Got a little froggy this morning, decided the ODHB (Old Dirty Hood Blanket) had to go.

The first thing I did was pop out all the little plastic fasteners and dropped the blanket. At this point the ground wire is still attached

Next I detached the ground wire and set the blanket aside. Under the blanket it was NASTY but it was painted (whew!)

The next thing I did was use my dremel tool's cut off wheel to cut the flaps that cover the hood vents, and then I hit the underneath of the hood with windex to clean MOST of the dirt and dust off.

This was an interesting sticker underneath my hood. The number almost looks like a build number. Hmmm...

The last thing I did was hit it with some Lucas quick wax spray, to give it a little shine. I did a little more cleaning after this picture was taken, but I'll save the real detailing for when its not 25 degrees out!

ODHB is right. Did mine earlier this year too. Now I have to paint underneath because Ford saved themselves $0.78 not doing it for me.
