Has anybody used the gunk citrus degreaser/detailer?

I've used their standard degreaser with success, but I wonder how the engine compartment looks after using this two-step product? How does it compare to CD-2 detailer?
 
Do not use it. The "citrus" smell lingers for weeks and it's actually a rather unpleasant smell. I noticed no increase in cleaning ability either.
 
Good to know that. What do you prefer, then, for the detail step (ie. after degreasing)? I've heard positive comments on CD2 and even WD-40. :wha
 
I've used CD2 and its awesome. Only problem I had was that after use, I found some of the silicone in it found its way on the paint so I had to rewash the car. I would recommend using it before you wash to avoid any problems.

I've never used or heard of using WD40. Sounds like a really bad idea if you ask me considering it is simply just oil and not to mention highly flamable. So if it doesn't burst into :flamed and destroy your vehicle, it will probably just make a huge mess!
 
I never do anything after the degreasing. The car I just relegated to a backup, a 1997 Ford Aspire :headbang, has 194,000 miles on it and the engine looks like it did when I bought it. And it spent 190,000 of those miles in Buffalo. I've seen some people actually use Armor All to good effect. :eek So long as you're careful not to get it near any belts.

I never would have thunk it, but read this thread.

Not sure its something I would try, but maybe CD2 is just WD-40 in a different can? :dunno
