CD2 Engine Detailer

[Anthony A]

It says on the can you can use on wheel wells. I tried and it left a greasy mess. I thought this stuff was supposed to dry hard? Do you have to buff it off to get good results?

After it cures, you have to wipe off the excess. But it needs heat to cure....

One question I have though. Are you guys using the cleaner in the kit? It`s most ly Kerosene, and smelled terrible after I used it. I rinsed very very thoroughly, but the smell lingered for a week. Now it`s no longer there, and the engine bay looks fantastic! So for those who have tried it, is there a trick to getting it all off, or are you all just using the detailer and not the cleaner?

I`ve used the system before and really like it. I ran out of the cleaner and have used diluted Simply Green to replace it, but I remembered liking the CD-2 stuff so I`ve kept my eye open for the kit. Still have some of the dressing, so I`m in no real hurry.

I saw the cleaner at Big Lots the other day and decided to take a look at the back of the can. Saw that (one of?) the main ingredient was Kerosene. I decided not to get it and just stick with whatever degreaser I have handy. I`ve found that a light pass with a rag every month keeps things pretty clean, so I don`t really need the CD-2 degreaser. I just wish my Big Lots had the dressing as well.

I plan on detailing my engine bay soon and will probably use CD2. I have a question though. Have any of you guys bought the CD2 detailing kit? It comes with a cleaner and the "shine".

I`m not necessarlily going to buy it there. That was one of the first sites that came up when I searched.

I plan to go look for it tonight locally.

That`s the kit I referred to in my post. The cleaner is mostly kerosene. Leaves a really strong kerosene smell that takes a week to rid. The "shine" is the good stuff. From now on, I am not going to buy the kit, because the cleaner is junk a degreaser. Just buy any engine degreaser. It`ll smell better than that stuff.

I find the shine at Auto Zone all by its lonesome.

I have only ever seen the kit up here in Kanadia. Any Canucks want to chime in on where we can find the detailer by itself?

Ok-Thanks Guys. I`m gonna leave in a little bit to see if I can find it locally. I`m going to GI Joes, WallMart, and Pepboys. Thanks.

Just got back. I could not find it. I bought something different though. It`s made by "Gunk" It`s their Citrus Engine Detailer. I`ll try to post pics and a review when I use it.
