getting rid of the old crud.... Valve covers and Tools, almost anything This applies for 6gc and all cars..
Going from this  to this in 30 mins... with minimal effort..  How? Finally found something worth doing as it dissolves the caked grime. Go to sams club and get a gallon of this. Proforce Heavy duty degreaser...  http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product....roductId=103502 http://img2.prosperent.com/images/250x250/...249300979_A.jpg mix with water al GUSTO. Let it seat for 15 min, and use a red scotch brite... May need to repeat if needed... use additional tools if desired (toothbrush) -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

just picked up some of the stuff from sams that njccmd2002 suggested, ProForce Heavy Duty Degreaser. as soon as im able to use it, ill let you all know my expirience with it. ill be using a 1:10 ratio as suggested by the web site for "soke tank"use. only issues i have with this is that it is not safe for aluminum..

works awesome but i didnt mix it with water though, i sprayed a little on the wheels, and with water wet cloth wiped them, everything came off immediately. before that many car washes couldnt get that stuff off. but this one did! is this safe for paint/primer/exterior when mixed with water? my cars still pretty dirty/greasy from the swap? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
