Me? Nah...

Just to do a full detail on the car is something to behold to the weekend waxer.

It can get a bit **** when I pull out the concours equipment and materials to do the car. And it's due for one that's for sure!

It's very important to locate all standing water in any panel or cover and make sure it's out. This takes some investigation and sometimes the "alien probes" to check for water.

Problem is now, I hardly have time to do this and have to rely on others for the time being.

Here's a good example of one of the other spray detailer products for the engine bay. Gee does the last few shots look like a car we all know?

For some reason I'm still scared to spray water into the engine bay. What if you just used Optimum No Rinse followed by Adams in and out spray?

Then 911 engine bay is far cleaner than any front engine bay. Let's not go nuts and create problems where there are none.
