Privitize it
I got a call Friday afternoon to detail a Vette's engine for a car show. I didn't realize I was out of degreaser and APC until 1 hour before I had to go. I stopped at a store and decided to try some Foaming Engine Brite after seeing the CD2 results and figured it would be the same. This stuff is HORRIBLE!!! I followed directions and sprayed on a dry cool engine and let it sit for 5 min. After that I rinsed it off. There wasn't any visible grease to begin with, just a lot of dirt. I wiped off the water with a MF and started noticing a ton of dirt on the MF. When ever I've cleaned an engine it never leaves that much dirt behind. Then after I was done wiping, the plastic had a white "hue" to it and there was a film on everything. I sprayed Pro's Premo on it and let it soak in, and wiped it off with another MF. This got rid of the white hue but it still didn't look black like it should. I managed to correct most of the film by wiping it with a MF but the whole detail took me over 30 min when it should have been much less. Needless to say the guy was happy and wants me to do a complete on it, he even tipped me. My new degreaser is Meguiars Super Degreaser from their Detailer line, which I finally found a supplier for and am switching to it for my bulk supplies. I'll be doing some reviews of it as it comes in.
