Engine Cleaning!!
I put in some time today cleaning up my engine for the upcoming concours season......it takes forever to clean things (think hinges) but the Adams Polishes "In & Out" spray is AMAZING.....makes everything look nice and new with a couple sprays....then a quick wipe to dull down the shine & your done! I tried for a before and after pic...so the first is how the engine looked when I bought the car.....bottom is today! Its getting better, still not a "Seth" car...but close!
Heres a link to the spray

That's not the same car! Brian secretly switched cars. Just look at the colored letters on the intake - the car in the first pic doesn't have them. Nah, must be a different car...

Nice work.
My car was quite dirty when I bought it, but still fairly original. I screwed up and used a cleaner that was too harsh-- didn't wreck the metal, but did remove much of the anodization from fittings and etc. Baaad call believing the lable!

Looks great!
FYI......... If you need to clean off carbon I bought some carberator cleaner from Wal-Mart. I don't remember the brand (don't think it matters) 97 cents per can! Worked great on the pistons,intake and exhaust manifold carbon during my rebuild. I bought a case! I know if you had carbon on your exhaust tips or anywhere else it would tackle that with ease.

I like your results...but I'm not sure I believe his small-production pitch. I wonder whether the stuff is sourced from a common manufacturer that allows custom labeling?

Brent,
If you get a chance, check your supply for the name of the product you purchased at Walmart. .79 vs $8.95.

I get a similar result using some Armor-All pro tire foam, sprayed onto a sponge, then wiped on everything that isn't painted. Problem is that it doesn't last a long time. It's not as shiny as yours, be that good or bad.
In the top of the fan console front, right around the air pump filter inlet, those bee-hive cavities are a real chore to keep clean. Anybody have any secrets to what they use in there to let the dirt blow away instead of getting stuck in there?
I really need to pull the fan and ignition modules off the front apron, and get in there and scrub/polish/wax like yours. Great job!
