Default CD2-engine detailer

Hey guys. I know many of you use the CD2. I have found out all the major auto stores here in the Metroplex have quit carrying it Not sure about the Houston area but would think it would be the same. If you google it you can order it by the case or by the can. Got my case yesterday.

Dealer sprayed that stuff all over my engine before I picked up the car. Took me WEEKS to get all that dirt trap junk off everything. Now, when my engine compartment gets dusty, I just air blow it off. Much easier to clean.

I order it by the case from a place in Dallas. Maybe the same place you found?? I spray it on and let it sit and then wipe it down. That helps with the dirt/dust attraction.

You have to let it soak in, I usually let mine sit for 24 hours and I don't have to wipe anything. I have been using this stuff sparingly because I couldn't find it anywhere. Glad to see I can still get the stuff. I haven't found an easier more effective system than the CD2 stuff. It makes the engines compartment look great and lasts a long time.
