As a few of you saw in my thread about my ISR mod, my engine bay was a dirty mess. I tried to clean it with everything from degreaser to hot water with no effect. But when Gonzo told me about SuperClean, made by castrol, i tried it today and all I can say is WOW! here are some before and after pics. if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Before:




After:

 

It's goodstuff. I use it everywhere. Just be careful as it is a concentrate. Delute it for somethings like interior etc.
I also put a little in my laundry when I get my clothes real greasy etc.
Glad it worked for ya.

 

thanks, i also sprayed some on my skid, frame, gastank, A-arms and a few other places so the truck looks a little cleaner overall.

 

looks better

 

Finish it off with some tire shine

 

Looks great!

 

Looks nice. Any advice where we can find this stuff? Wally World carry it or auto zone/ pepboys?

 

Why did you allow it to get that dirty?

Doesn't look that that happened in a few days.

Looks better though.

 

most autopart stores have it, i got it from wally mart.

yeah it happened overtime but the thing was that once the red clay crap was dry the first time it wouldnt come off so it built up...

 

Does it run any better? I bet your underhood temps are alot cooler now without all the crap coating everything. Thanks for cleaning it that was really bothering me...

 

We use superclean at work to clean everything, is really good at loosening up caked on grease!
Damn that ish was dirty!

 

Hit it with some "303 Aerospace Protectant." Look what it did to my 166,000 mile motor:


And no, this truck is not a street-queen.

and my old Supra turbo:


Just spray it on, walk away for 30 minutes and wipe up the residue. Done!

 

when i cleaned my i used superclean then black magic engine cleaner and brightner looks great

 

Looks like the sales are going up on this stuff.
I may go buy stock in Superclean now.
LMAO

 

paddle, did you really clean that yourself? how much tire shine did you put on the rubber afterwards?

 

after you clean your engine use some formula 2001. Tire Wet can be flamable. Spray the engine compartment down with 2001 and let your engine run for a few minutes... it will dry it and you wont even need to wipe it down

 

heres mine Before...After
all i used was the stuff i posted above and i know it wasint that dirty but i llike having a clean engine bay makes it easier to work on

 

Absolutely. I simply sprayed the engine down with water, used a light detergent cleaner (I think I used Simple Green) and gave the engine about a 10-minute brushing with a long-bristled brush. Hosed it off and drove it for a couple of days. Came back later and bombed it with 303. Thirty minutes later I wiped the leftover off the hoses and engine heat took care of the rest. I just did my 5VZ-FE a couple of months ago. Pic here.

 

ok, paddle, Im hooked. Where can I get my hands on your magic 303?

 

I bought mine at a local kayak shop and have seen it at various boating supply stores. Think of it as the opposite of Armor-All; it actually provides protection from UV radiation rather than simply pulling the moisture out of plastic and rubber to create a shine. It is also available online. It turned my sun-bleached polyethylene kayak from pink back to its original bright red color.
