I posted this over at Megs also for those of you that go to both sights.





Ill be getting alittle money back from taxes and I must say I cannot decide what products I want?!



I already have APC+ and I was alittle disappointed with it under the hood. My Jeep sees alot of mud and such but its not really that bad under the hood. There are, however, alot of hoses that seen to get stained by the mud. I cannot get a brush to every single hose, so I need something that will take that off without being brushed. Ive been going back and forth between Super D and Safe D. Ive searched, read, and read some more. Some people say that safe-D is about the same as APC, so Im not sure if I should get it or Super D. Some people say Super D turns plastic white and since there is alot of plastic on the engine, I cannot have that. I do not want to hurt the paint and everyone knows there is over spray with cleaning the engine. Please help me decide.



I am for sure getting a sample of Hyper dressing. I do not believe I would use enough to get the gallon size so 32oz of concentrate should do me. Ill be sure to get another bottle to dilute it in.



I thought about getting some different kinds of spray nozzles also. I was going to try a high volume for the APC and Super/safe D b/c the chemical resistant one that I have for the APC right now just doesnt cut it. I was also going to try a Foaming nozzle for the APC when doing carpet and such. Does that sound ok?



Does anyone recconmend any different kinda of detailer line soap over Gold class soap? Thats all Ive ever used and I seem to like it... But if the detailer line has something better to offer, im more than willing to try it.



Sorry for the short story! Thanks for any reviews or advice.
 
I have tried Super Soap and it's ok, just don't like the smell. Cherry cough syrup, but that could just be me too. I have been wanting to try Shampoo Plus.



I love the foaming sprayer for APC.
 
Anyone have any experience with safe-D or Super D? Is safe-D strong than APC+? Would it be better to get super-D? Thanks..

I have used the super d on my Jeep Cherokee and then topped with Hyper 2:1.



I dont have any before shots. I have never cleaned the engine bay in the last 7 years. I sprayed down with the super d and let it sit for about 5 min and then hosed off. The engine was warm when I did this. I then let it dry and sprayed down with the hyper dressing and just let it sit.

I know this sounds simple but have you tried simple green under the hood? I have used it on very dirty motors and have been happy with it, even with min amount of brush work.
 
Thanks for the pic capt. dan.



Ive thought about that Bbasso. Its hard to beat a gallon of megs for $15 though. Almost everything I use is megs.. I guess Im crazy, but I try to use all megs stuff. :chuckle:



I just dont want to harm anything with the super D. Weather it be drying out rubber under the hood b/c its to harsh or hurting the paint with over spray..
 
cll megs customer care center...they have steered me in the right direction a few times...kept me from buying things I didnt need, and told me what I needed
