Default I'm a Believer - CD2

After reading threads on here - and hopelessly trying to detail my engine bay - I decided to go look for this stuff. Nobody carries it in my area (San Diego), but I found an online retailer. I ordered two cans, and I must say, this stuff is awesome! It cleans all the hard to reach areas and really makes the engine bay shine.

I'm about to order more cans just in case they stop selling this stuff for good!

Now ALL the dirt in San Diego county will stick to everything you sprayed. The dealer put that junk on my SS when it was new and it took weeks to get all cleaned off.

I take it you have lived here hehehehe. There is frigging dirt everywhere here - can barely keep the car clean.

Are you sure it was CD2? Its not sticky at all. I can see how Armor All would cause dirt to stick everywhere, but this stuff is pretty slick.

I still have a tiny bit of this left from a year or two ago in my garage. I use it about once every 6 months. And yes, things do stick to it.

I don't know why they don't sell this anymore? Seems like plenty of people are interested in it.

Yep, lived in Poway for 13 yrs. Now here in Wy we have a lot more dirt and dust, but I just blow it off with air. At least it doesn't stick. Not sure what the dealer in Wa used but it was enough to convince me not to use anything.

I was actually born in Cheyenne and still have family there. Spring and Summer aren't bad, but I hate the winters there lol.
