Hello Crew,

I have only owned my Saleen since the end of December, so I am still a little Green. With the rain and weather we have had here in San Antonio, I had not been able to wash my car for about 3 weeks or so. I washed it today and noticed a residue all over the back part of the bumper, wing, and the tail pipe tips. The tips were coated up so bad, I had to literally use a strong cleaner to get them clean. I also notice the inside of tip, is really black. There is also a strong odor while I am near the back of the car. Do you think that the Saleen is running rich? Any help is appreciated ...


Thank you,
Dale in San Antonio
