I was trying to find some CD-2 engine cleaner/detailer, but with no luck. I did find Black Magics 2-in-1 engine detailer, It's simular to CD-2 but it came in one can with same directions as CD-2. Spray on warn engine, let sit for 15 minutes, rinse with minimal water. Start and let the engine run for 10 or until dry. I think it did a good job but CD-2 is way better hands down. Here are a few before and after shots for you guys.

I just turned the hose on low and just sprayed real quick if i used more than 2 gallon i'd be surprised. I'm pleased with the results just wish it shined more the the CD-2 does. But for $5 and 30 mintues of your time the results are rather impressive!!!

I've seen CD2 at autozone before. But I'd rather do everything by hand instead of risking rust inside the intake manifold

You can google CD-2 engine cleaner and still order it online. I ordered a case as soon as I found out that all the major stores quit selling it.
