Hopefully Scott,Justin or Texastb will chime in and offer some advice. be prepared to be extremely hurtin when your done .. Good Luck my friend  |

| | | Joe, I couldn't wait to try out my new products! I always use S100 on wax jobs or Klasse Sealant Glaze. I'm telling you, I love that Souveran wax! |

| | Sparkie, man you worked your tail off on that one! I love the picture of the trash on the floor! Looks like my Wife's van!! The before and after shot of the engine are really dramatic. You said purple power to clean the engine. What did you use as a dressing (for the engine)?
Good work!
PS. When you say Purple Power, do you mean this stuff: http://www.purplepower.com/ultra.htm

Very powerful stuff! The vapors will make you caugh. |

| | | The purple power is a strong APC you can buy OTC Wal-mart, NAPA, autozone, advance auto. I needed the power, simple green was not strong enough. After the rinse, I use black magic tire foam on the engine (cleans and shine). On the tires they wanted very wet shine. So I use Megs insane shine, but the tires just soak it up, went back with three coats of AA. Soak up the first two of AA, never seen that before. | | |
