BTW - I love how it turned out bmorgan

let it soak on a cool engine for 15 minutes and spray rinse with the garden hose.
Then start er up and take a quick run down the interstate and back and it's completely dry with no water spots anywhere.
I'm gonna need to check out this CD-2 product though.

Re: Cleaned the Engine Today
I've looked all over for CD2 and can't seem to find it. Amazon has it "out of stock" for the past two months and none of the auto places around here carry it. I was able to order a few cans from Corvette Central.com They show it in stock. If you are lucky enough to find it in a store grab some, its very hard to find. Wonder if Turtle Wax stopped making it because I said all those bad things about them?

I've heard such good things about this product, its strange they would have such a scarcity for so long.

Re: Cleaned the Engine Today
Just got a confirmation on my order so I know Corvette Central .com does have it in stock. I checked our PEP Boys and our local parts store and neither had it so I figured it would be easier locating some on line. Just don't feel like driving all over creation to find it.
