Still love this stuff....

 

I use to use that stuff too but i think they discontinued it..Now i just use diluted simple green and then use adams to polish but you have to get that online

 

dont use simple green it eats hoses. Use some degeaser watered down. Then spray it all off and use a prtective coating like aerospace 303 or something like that.

 

use gunk engine degreaser

 

Alright well i get of work in about 30 mins. so i'm heading to pep boys afterwards and i'll see what i can find!

 

Same here! Can't find anywhere. I use Gunk (citrus) and silicone.

 

I'm going to try the Gunk citrus soon!!

 

i use a citrus degreaser watered down it works great. I only have to actuly wash the motor maybe once every other month or so. If you just pop the hood and wipe everything down after every wash it wont get very dirty under there.

 

i used gunk...it sucks

 

i use greased lightning- orange blast, works great

 

Gunk Citrus Engine Brite

 

Well, went out and bought me some gunk citrus yesterday and that stuff rocks. My engine bay looks just like the one above!...I give this product and A++!

 

I use the CD2 kit.

 

what method do you guys use? power washer? what do y7ou cover up? if anything

 

I'd also like to know this...

 

I first applied the gunk citrus to my extremely dirty engine bay (i had a few dried up tree leaves in there) Let it sit for about 10 mins. The only thing you don't wanna spray is the alternator. Then hose it down. I turn on my car when i hosed it down though...let it idle for 10 minutes so it will dry. Turn it off, let it cool down for a good 20-30 mins. Spray gunk citrus again(light spray) on the places that you want to detail. Let it sit 5 mins. Then turn the car on and let idle for 15 mins until any excess gunk dries off....and you're done!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I went and got some Citrus Gunk today. Did you guys cover anything up besides the alternator like wireing and such, the directions on the back have me kinda wary about this stuff.

 

i used gunk citurs engine degreaser works the best and smells like citrus after

 

They still sell that stuff. I just bought some at autozone last week. DS did you actually cover your belts and alternator and all the other parts it says not to spary on????

 

Yep, just wrapped the belts and alternator with aluminum foil...works like a champ...

 

Post some pics. of your car when your done. Time to *****.

 

Im so scared to do this after what blake did to his car. Mines nasty under the hood...

 

I didn't cover jack ****...I was just careful not to hose down the alternator and i was good to go.....I spray the fawk out of the engine..
