I'd say some sandpaper and some good ol' elbow grease. It worked for my cousin's skyline after we messed it up. Also, if its gunked on pretty thick, u might try some nail polish remover VERY CAREFULLY. Put some on a q-tip and wipe a small area, then dry it off. If you do use the polish be careful cuz it will fog up your plastic if its left on too long. Good luck.

Yea, all the cars are white underneath. As long as you sand the car really evenly, you won't be able to tell anything was ever wrong with it. Also, i'd suggest doing a coat of primer, sand it down smooth, then another coat of primer, then whatever color you want. The primer should fill in any little spots you miss, then when u sand it even and go over it again with primer, you'll have a smooth body to paint on. It takes a bit of practice, but I have had it work for me. Good luck.
