[Johnnie27]

I decided to do a semi detail on my engine for the first time. I`ve been collecting the necessary tools over the past few months and today I had the time.

.99 cent brush from the .99 cent store. I like this brush because it`s soft and wipes off a lot of the grease that a scrub brush isn`t able to. Also, since it`s spongy it fits in tight places.

Since I`m still a newb I`ve been experiementing with several different nubas. I always keep going back to S100. It`s easy to use, fast, I can buy it locally since there`s a Harley shop up the street and most importantly, it looks good.



2 weeks since I applied it to my truck.

the s100`s durability is starting to diminish at this point. What did you do with the dirt from the engine? did you rinse it off?
