Hi there,
The best way to clean fiberglass is to use dry ice blasting..
This is often compared to sandblasting, but it's very different.
Dry ice blasting (or cryogenic cleaning) is a revolutionary cleaning method in which dry ice pellets replace traditional cleaning materials.
Dry ice blasting is quick & clean & generates no secondary waste material. The only waste to be disposed of is the material that is removed. The process is dry & non-conductive therefore is suitable for electronics and electric motors.
Also in the case of fibreglass it is perfect as it will not affect the underlying surface as it is a non abrasive technology.
Hope this helps?

∙ 15y agofirst it has to sanded down until it is smooth
then you apply a primer - costs about $10 for a can
then after is has properly dried you apply paint.... about the same price
finally when the paint is dried you apply laquer
all of the above come in spray cans from most auto parts places.

Go to the automotive section of your local Wal-Mart and get some Bondo (fiberglass resin) for small repairs, or Bondo Glass (fiberglass threads and resin).
