(I'd say) If your that far you might as well clean everything and paint the fiberglass (if needed &/or you want to). Unless there is a race this wknd your trying to get too...(& I say this as someone that has needed to do mine for a while)

Yea, right? I've never worked on either, but this sounds like a crappy, frustrating job!
