Engine bling

Brake cleaner is a veyr nasty but powerful solvent. It is illegal in the state of california.

removed the paint in the cross brace, wonder how the plastic fended its way.

The RD label were stickers that I peeled off with the ultimate girl tool--fingernails. Then used the aluminum and mag cleaner on the brace to get it to shine like that.

theres a few different formulations of carb cleaner the baddest has acetone in it, it's like turbo carb cleaner the worst is the old formula of gumout that leaves that greasy residue, the new stuff is ok the old stuff seems to come up as generic/house brand now a days

The brand I used is Super-X. Just picked it cause the label says removes gum and varnish. Checked the ingrediants. #1 is toluene and #2 is acetone. It evaporates really quickly. And now that I think about it, it sort of smells like fingernail polish remover. LOL

Reading the words "extremely flamable" did make me pause initially. I put up with a lot more sun than I will usually tolerate to be away from my house and away from Mike's house.

First off just for those of you who haven't figured it out...GAYLE is CAR CRAZY (Maguire’s well most likely do a show on her)

Second Off Alezlin123...Armor all SUCK's plain and simple it not only attracts dirt and erodes rubber over time and is a product for the masses...would you use a product that is found in grocery stores across America & a Chevy owner uses...I didn't think so...
( does your engine compartment look this clean? )

And as far as the my secret engine detailer...Gayle has already said to much!

Carb cleaner now a days is all Enviro friendly same with all brake cleaner sold in California...don't worry Sierra Club members( oh by the way if you a member Go Hike to Hell)

The valve cover paint is way better than powder coating we just did not have the chance to let it dry...Hell this paint holds up to a leaky excuse of a motorcycle named Hardley Davidson...they have successfully managed to convert noise into a product with out the harmful effects of horsepower




P.S. the photos do not do her engine compartment justice…all I can say is night and day difference…next step the full paint detail and more Beer!

I thought clean engines never broke down or needed to be worked on.

Gayle you should come & drive on our dusty roads - the detail would last about 5 minutes.

Nah, the engine should stay dust free unless youre driving right behind someone else. On the way up my driveway today, i couldnt see through the billlowing cloud of dust behind me...
