    Here`s some pics of a Dodge Durango I did a while back. This was my first experience with SG.

    This was accomplished using 1ZPP, AIO, and SG. Notice the actual color change in the last two pics.

    I actually use the same process to detail an engine on every car I do, and I`ve been doing it for years with excellent results. I first soak the whole engine with Westley`s Bleach White 50/50 with water and agitate with a stiff wheel well brush making sure to get any built up grease or crud, then rinse with the strongest stream of water possible and let it dry while I detail the rest of the car. By the time I`m done with the rest of the car, the engine is completely dry and ready for dressing, which happens to be none other than Armour All Tire Foam. I foam up the whole engine really good and let it soak in for at least 15-30 minutes. Once it`s dry, I take a dry rag and wipe all the excess off. Works like a charm every time and the labor required is minimal.

    JDookie, about 10 years or so ago I was looking at the 396 in my 67 Impala SS (car is gone now) and came up with the idea to try tire foam on it, my buddies thought I was nuts, but it worked like a champ. Just wondering why you use Westley`s Bleach White? I guess diluted like that it would be cheaper than Gunk engine foam.

    I use Bleach White because it works just as good as an engine cleaner and doesn`t leave that nasty residue all over everything and it cleans all the plastic better than anything I have found yet. What can I say, it just works and it`s simple. Spray it on, scrub just a little bit on the dirty spots and rinse it off. No oil stain on your concrete or anything.



    I absolutely love Tire Foam for the engine. I don`t use it for anything else, and the great thing about it is it clean while it shines so it kind of does a lot of work for you.

    SG is a total pita to apply here in the south. The end result looked good but it wasn`t easy.
