Its good but I would use dilluted Simple Green to clean. And then to shine it up I would spray armor all all over the place and then drive around. THe result when you do that.

I've used the 2-1 and like it but it didn't come out like Joe's engine! Joe, so you spray with simple green, let it soak then power wash it? After that do you then douse it in armor all then drive around?

I spray with simple green, let it sit for 5 minutes and then powerwash. After I powerwash, I dry up the excess water and then I spray armor all all over the place.

I use that 2in1 stuff and love it. The "shine" part about it totally blows balls but the cleaning is fantastic and it can be used on warm engines!! That's what I love about it. I don't powerwash the engine though. I just use a hose with a gun set on "shower". I don't like that much powerful water to get into areas you don't want them to.:D I use the Armour All Natural Finish. It doens't leave everything greasy. It's water based vs. chemical based. Leaves a great look.:D

Hey Harrison,
Where can the natural finish Armor All be found? I haven't seen it in stores.

I get it at Advanced Auto. They usually only have like 1 row of it vs. 3 rows of the Reg. Armour All. Try it out if you can find it. It's good stuff.:D

Are those some new light covers Joe or is it just the angle?
Robert Palmer

Covers.
BTW-I didnt detail that engine, I only used that pic of Mario's as a illustration of what results you should get if you follow my steps.
The pic of my engine, I did that myself.

Joe could i use the Megs natural shine on the engine after the simple green? I just bought a bottle but it sorta comes out like a gel idk if that would work on the engine, but it sure works awesome on the interior!!
Robert Palmer
07-16-2009, 02:09 PM
Yeah you can use that. Its low dust. I recommend it.
