Thanks!
No, the old paste on both my car and the old EZL is like a brick. My car was made in September of 1992 and the old used EZL was probably as old - I guess that is how old that paste is. lol.
I got a reply from someone on another forum that said to clean it with water and a little detergent, but not sure if it will bring it all off. I am not a DIY'er at all... hopefully I won't ruin it.
Thanks again!
