Here is what comes in the conversion kit

I believe it's something like hydrogen peroxide and oxy-clean, but you'll have to search that out for s...

I sold one of these a month or two ago on ebay I was very surprised on what the final price was. I was expecting like 40.00 not 130's crazy money for these cars the one I sold was in worst condition then your car
