It was worth it. I sold it to my wife as a "family purchase" and used it on her car. She was amazed how awesome it worked (so was I).

I dunno what that guy uses, but I use a chemical from Meguiars called Back to Black. Our 08 spends a lot of time sitting outside, and if you've not looked at them in awhile, basically, the whole back half of the cruck is black plastic.
It's a simple process, just follow the directions on the bottle.

Pretty sure that if I like this fukken stuff, I could put one of his kids through college with as much as we detail around here.

What are you guys using to keep your engines pretty? One post said Simple Green for the engine compartment....do you spray it on the engine?

Im no pro so he may have a better Idea than I. But I cover the alternator and the intake if you have aftermarket one. and anyplace that shouldn't be wet. Spry on simple green and power wash the **** out of it. works well for me.

I did that one time and never really saw any good that it did. Best thing I have found is a bottle of detail spray. You don't need a high end one for this, so that cheap turtle wax ice will work well for this. You need that and a stack of microfiber towels.
I have seen people use a tire shine under the hood and armorall, but both are dust MAGNETS and while they might look good for a few miles after you've done it; the first dirt road or windy day will leave your entire engine bay buggered up.
Simple green does really well at getting heavy soils out, but again, I prefer some detail spray and that's it.

To clean the engine, or detail it? Two different things. To clean it, I just use a brush, and some Simple Green.
To detail it...I use this
Instantly shines and protects vinyl, plastic, rubber, metal, glass, leather and many other materials. Sprayed surfaces are water, dirt, and stain resistant.
Adam's In & Out Spray

I have a question. I just bought my truck a few weeks ago, it sat for a very long time, anyway it has some water spots on the windshield that i just cannot get off no matter what I do. What do you suggest? Claybar the windshield?
