um if it was off of another car all you have to do is. .

1. take some shop quality wax and grease remover and wipe it down really good.
2. scuff the whole thing with 320 grit, you only need to scuff it, not sand it all down, just make sure you take ALL the glossy look off.
3. wipe down with wax and grease remover again, and dont touch it with bare hands after that. (or get armor-all within a mile of it)
