CD2 engine detailer

 

Good work.

 

nice! wanna trade that for my engine?

 

Hmmmmmm, shiiiinnyyyy awwwwww <------The 'Homer Simpson' drool

 

looks nice!!

 

Looks like the Armoral Fairy paid a visit. Looks great.

 

I the fact that a person can take the time not only to clean & shine the outside but also the engine. Very impressive.

 

haha. ya the stuff that i used is in an aresol can, and when i sprayed it, it smelled exactly like Armoral. so its like Armoral in an aresol can. I highly recomend it. u can't see the plenum to well. but it did a good job at shining that up too..

some more shiney pics. too bad i just pulled the intake and injectors. its all dirty again..

 

 

That's a pretty dented up runner you got... I have an extra set down in my toolshed.

 

haha i know, i just realized how bad it looks. its not THAT bad, i think the lighting made it look worse. but ya it does need to be fixed. im thinking about bringing mine to get the dent taken out at a music shop or soemthing.. u got any dents in ur extra pair?

 

I have a nice dent in one of the runners not sure which, I'll check it out tomorrow and hope and pray it's the driver side for ya!

 

That does look great! Only thing though. This comes with being a detailer. Now you cannot paint anything in that bay without giving a really and I mean really good engine shampoo. It does make it trun out really nice.
I hope you don't mind me adding this here, I am not trying to Hijack your thread or anything. I do a very heavy engine shampoo, getting rught down into all the crack and tight spots witha light scrub brush to ensure complete removal of any grease or oil deposits. I then allow the engine to dry completely. Once the engine is completely dry I then run the engine for about 5-10 minutes. Just to let it get a bit warm. I then detail anything that may need a bit of touch up, Then apply a Ceramic based clear coat made by Duplicolor. This stuff is great. The engine will not only shine better then brand new, but it will be much easier to shampoo again in the future. Here is a example.

 

Just one more for you to see. This is before...

 

THis is after, excuse the bad photo. Same car 2 hours later

 

Nice work in there guys! Hey i use that CD2 stuff, works great. Hopefully before this topic gets to old i'll get a pic of my bayof before and after. Its already clean, it will just shine more.

 

Oh, and breathment, is that a SLP cold air induction u got there? If not what kind is it? Cause i notice it dont have a air box.

 

haha, its alright Cruzin Kaz. I welcome and appreciate your advise. Good job on the detailing by the way!!

GTATransAM, i thought that was the stock air intake just with the air box removed. im not sure though as that was on the car when i go it, and i have never seen a t\a with the factory air intake in real life.. so im not sure what the factory one looks like. but im pretty sure that is just with the airbox removed..

 

Where can you get the ceramic based clearcoat?

 

I'm like 99% sure breathment that aint stock. I'll get a pic this weekend, and show u how the stock looks like. I think that looks like SLP, but i'm not sure.

 

That's good to here breathment. Thank too. I just try to be carefull around here lately, everyone seems to be on edge. What it comes down to is personal preference, and that our cars look great, so. CD2 eh? I will have to look into that stuff. Alot of detailers up here in Canada just spray silicone on everything. Once you do that, painting is out of the question, and all the silicone does is attract more dirt, and boy oh boy does it get dirty fast.

 

looks great!

 

ya i before now i used like just plain armoral or tire shine to detail everything in the engine compartment. and oh boy did it attract dust!! just like on the inside of ur car.. but supposivly this CD-2 has some sort of antistatic property or something.. and so far it's still clean. if none of ur local stores have this stuff. just search for "cd-2 engine detailer" online. i think they sell kits for $8, with cleaner and detailer. and hopefuly this stuff will be more forgiving when it comes time to painting the engine compartment, which will still be a few more months

 

Looks really good, does that stuff attract dust though? Every time I use Armorall on my engine, the stuff I put it on gets really dusty.

 

I sprayed clear coat in a can all over the plastic pieces under my hood...lol & I bought some anti-static crap at the parts store and it works pretty good to keep the bay clean for a day or two.

 

i heard it was supposed to be anti static.. ill check it today and see if it attracted any dust

 

::cloud of dust passes by house::

IT'S COMING FOR YOU!!!

 

Hey breathment, heres the pic. This is my engine bay, and it has the stock air intake, notice how restrictive it looks, cant wait to get an aftermarket intake.




So as u can see, theres no way u have stock intake, which is good for u.

Ok later, g2g
