That purple power stuff attempted to buttfuck the anodizing on my nitrous plate and nearby anodized AN fittings. I would NOT recommend spraying it on anodized anything. The rest of the engine bay was clean as hell lol. I like the good ole' Simple Green unless it's really nasty, then I use Foamy Engine Brite.
On tips I use carb cleaner and scotch brite.

is it power purple, or Purple Power? If its the latter, I have used it many times before. Be careful around paint though. I have seen it turn an NBM engine bay to a light purple color.lol

Thanks for the advice, I need to clean mine. You should dry your car with air, not a towel
the vettes drip FOREVER! I use a leaf blower, so the cloth doesn't touch the paint. It works freaking great!! (but hey each to their own! )

Thanks. I use the leaf blower on occasion. I found that by using the microfiber towel to dry I get less water specs. The leaf blower works great but it leaves a fine film and usually by the time i get back to it they are fine spots. But then I could be doing it worng..LOL
Nice cars ya got there

...and here I thought I was a retard for using a leafblower when drying my wheels. My neighbors must think I'm crazy when I do it. ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
I had the CME (lightly polished aluminum) and I always used a little brake cleaner on a rag to get 'em clean again.
