Looks like you just made your buddy some extra $$$. What a difference.
If you don't mind answering how long does engine/paint correction/exterior only take you?

I was under the impresion that if you agitate it with a brush you would only be driving the dirt deeper in to the carpet? Or do you then use an extractor? Sorry I haven't payed much attention to the carpets but I'm starting to because I'll be doing mine soon.

If anyone could help me out with this one please.



By the way Justin, it's amazing how well you got your process down. The engine bay looks like ew and the paint is very nice. Sounds to me that you are enjoying your Cyclo very much.

Thanks for sharing bro, great results and great write up, as usual very informative

Justin SWEEEEEEEEEEET baby Jesus that thing is looking TOP NOTCH! How long did it take you and what did you get for that "train wreck?"

As far as engine details go...this is straight from Justin if I remember correctly.


1. Let engine warm up. This loosens up the grime. Turn engine off
2. Spray engine with degreaser. I use Purple Power full strength. Lightly spray bay with water to sud up degreaser.
3. Agitate all areas with a wheel brush. This includes under the hood!
4. Let sit for 5 minutes.
5. Using a lower powered pressure washer, blast the bay. Pressure washers use 75% air making it safer than a hose.
6. Once rinsed, spray bay down with Armor All tire foam. Shut hood and crank vehicle. This is why you do the engine first. OVERSPRAY!
7. Let vehicle run for about 15-20 minutes while washing it. I call this the baking process. The heat will evaporate all water and leave a nice matte shine behind.
8. Open hood and wipe down with MF mitt or towel.

I have done about three like this and they ALL have come out amazing. Thanks again "King Justin!"
