    Cleaned with PB`s APC by what method?
    Spray on and just rinse?
    Spray on and wash with a wash mitt?
    Spray on and agitate with a brush?

    Re: Pics of a quick engine detail

    Very nice work! You just gotta love how easy engine details can be with the right tools. I charge between $60 and $80 for engine details and they are usually a lot dirtier than that, but the cleanup process is the same. Now that CD2 is back on the shelf I might drop my price a little, but they are going to remain a profit center for me. Pictures like that do the selling of engine detailing for me. I get calls specifically requesting just the engine detail. lol

    Thanks.
    Pretty impressive for just a spray and rinse.
    Not to take anything away from a great looking job, but spray, rinse, dry, CD-2 almost seems too easy.

    Yup. $4.99 at AutoZone. Apparantly not every AutoZone is aware that it is available again, but several of the ones in my area are carrying it and it has been confirmed in other AutoZones all over the country. If yours isn`t carrying it, then they should be made aware that they can. It beats the crap out of that Black Magic garbage that some stores believe is the appropriate replacement for CD2.

    Re: Pics of a quick engine detail

    FWIW, I just did a spray and rinse with Amazing Roll Off on an engine that was not nearly as dirty as the one rycen did.
    The results weren`t even close. Spraying and rinsing the Roll Off left a lot of dusty, dirty areas that needed to be manually washed with a towel. Surprised and disappointed me.
    The PB`s evidently works much better. Can`t compare since I don`t have any. (Yet )

    How did you rinse it? With a hose or what?

    Looks good by the way!
