crowvet

This morning, before it got hotter than Hades, I finally took a hose and a brush to the engine bay of my Astra.  Despite all the proven fact that it’s safe, I was still a big  ?????.  Results are nice! It’s not going to win any awards, but looks better.  Found some spots I’ll need to try to get next time with a tooth brush. 
Used the sidekick to blow out debris.  Covered any electrical connections I was unsure about with plastic grocery bags.  I rinsed it down, sprayed the Eco all purpose cleaner, let dwell a bit.  Then used my wheel brush and lug nut brush to agitate the cleaner.   I then did the under side if the hood. Sprayed with Eco APC, agitated with brush and rinsed everything.  Removed plastic bags,  Used sidekick to blow out the water. Used a cheap MF to wipe down some areas I couldnt get to with brush, and finished drying.  Dressed with VRT and In n Out spray.  
 
Not sure what stained the plastic at the front.  It was there before I started cleaning.  But now it’s really noticeable.  I’ll see what the trim restorer can do later this week.   
 
 

Picked this up for free...... Fixed fuel line, freed up hi/lo shifter and runs like a top. And of course a little Adams love. Came without deck. Found another parts mower with bad transaxle. Has nice deck and snow plow, and good engine. $250 for that one. I think I scored pretty well.

It is if you're doing a burnout while cleaning your wheels.

If you read all the post I said later that it doesn't bother me. I find it funny that everyone says about the same thing. 
Crowvet... Yup that's when it usually happens lol

Bought to resell, spent the week end detailing for the new owner. Turned out pretty nice for a 2003 with 228,000 on the clock.

When I had my Raptor, I just applied VRT over the dirt 

I agree, I wouldn't "DEW" this

They look great but you need to get some Tire Shine on those tires!

I'm going to try that next time - brushing off most of the water with a MF prior to spraying on the G&G.  I used G&G for the first time today and found that I needed to wring out my application towel several times (which just wastes product) because I had too much standing water on my vehicle.  Your way makes a lot of sense. 
 
With that being said, G&G is awesome!  After I applied it and then went over it with my dry towel, my paint seriously feels like glass.  And the shine is great - even on a light color like silver.  I live in an apt. complex and we have a car wash area - which is nice because, even though it's not a covered area, at least I have access to a hose hookup.  Anyway, as I was finishing up and applying Tire Shine, a guy was walking through the parking lot and he commented on how nice my car looked.  I pointed to all of my Adam's supplies on the curb and told him that's why. 
 
I tried to get a good picture but either my cell phone camera isn't very good or silver cars just make it difficult to capture the shine you see with your eyes in a photo.  But anyway, it looks really nice in person - I'm definitely happy with the results. 

My favorite newer product, I have found if you brush off most of the water with a micro fiber, and then apply with the same towel after wringing out ,followed by a great white delivers awesome results. then wipe your wheels with just the towel without spraying product on the wheels drys them right up and shines nice. LOVE this stuff.

Smells fairly close to red, but not as strong as green. Hope this helps

That's good to know, I was afraid it might smell brown.
