I washed and waxed yesterday and it's raining today.
The rain beads up nice on the wax though

i used simple green. make sure the engine is cool, and spray it down lightly w/ water. then spray simple green and let it sit for a few, then use elbow grease and start cleaning. then, hose down lightly again.
if you get some of the simple green on the black plastic where your windshield wipers are, it will turn white. so you may need some Back To Black for that.

That purple power stuff you can find at Walmart and auto stores is the best crap I have ever seen. The 93 gt I bought looked like it had never been cleaned under the hood. Svopaul sprayed it down with some of the purple power, let it set for a minute, then hosed it off with water. No scrubbing what so ever, and it was amazing the difference it made.

Picked up some simple green today... I've never detailed under the hood other than a simple wipe down. Is it necessary to cover anything up before doing this? Do you just use the simple green on the engine or the whole engine compartment?

Used Simple Green yesterday. I put a plastic bag over my battery and over my air intake. Sprayed some on everything and washed it off with my garden hose handle grip nozzle. Dried off everything, a warm motor helped a lot here. Started her up, no problems.
Made a point not to spray up into the holes on the fuse/computer box or anywhere it looked like it would be a problem.
Looks real good now.
