When I went outside this morning I decided to do some detailing and maintenance to some of the cars..... So I started with Blue; then Lucky, then Demon and lastly Chance. I did not do anything to the Shadow, 'cuz it's safetly tucked into the garage and did not touch Tee's car Angel 'cuz of the broken pinky thing.

So I pulled UP ONE CAR at a time and did this to each car...

Vacuumed out each car.
Cleaned each cars mats and scrubbed and cleaned the rubber mats
Straighted out anything we needed to keep in the cars
Made sure EACH car had SeMopars Cards to give out
Checked the air pressure in EVERY tire on each car
Checked all the fluids under the hood
Cleaned EVERY air filter
Two of the cars, DEMON & CHANCE needed the engines degreased
Then used DETAIL spray on each cars engine
Checked all the vinyl decals on each car; removed the cracked or curled emblems and replace some of these.
Ended up polishing Tee's car CHANCE's headlights.

To my surprise, this took ME all day; finished up at 5:30 PM.

*** THAT IS ALL!!! ***

I like the fact that you made sure there were SEM cards in all.

If all goes according to plan, I want to Plasti Dip eyelids on the headlights today! At least, I'm gonna try it!

Honestly NO need to pm as I like to share! There is a fairly new product out called "ENGINE DEGREASER & DETAILER" made by TWO companys I know of; one in GUNK brand the other is Black Magic brand. This stuff make the job so simply YOU won't believe how easy it IS!

Start with a warm (NOT HOT) engine; spray this type degreaser/detailer all over the engine... try NOT to get much IF any into the alternator = (I never even cover mine up; just spray around it and NOT directly onto it.) YES > I spray everything in the engine bay; the block, heads, any wires, hoses, radiator resevoir, top of the fuse box, the firewall ~ basically everything EXCEPT THE ALTERNATOR!!! Let this sit for about 10 minutes; NO longer than 20, rinse of with a light mist type of spray until you see most of the milky color of the degreaser and water pretty much clear > YOU do NOT have to remove all the milky residue! THEN you let it DRY, I usually use my air compressor to blow off any excess water etc.

AFTER IT'S BASICALLY DRY ~ again does NOT have to be bone dry, just pretty dry... THEN just spray the same engine degreaser/detail over the engine and let sit for about 10 minutes of so ~ does NOT have to be exact. The ONLY thing left to do IS: Just wipe down any puddled areas or flat surfaces that YOU WILL SEE runs in ~ no problem... just *** LIGHTLY *** wipe these areas down, just enuff to take out the runs; YOU DO NOT want to remove all the detailer, The only spots I've had to even touch is the flat top of the fuse box cover and sometimes the top of the engine intake.... YOU only need to take out the runs and EVEN IF YOU DO NOT DO THAT~ IT'LL GET BETTER WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR AND THE HEAT HITS IT.

YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW THIS MAKES THE ENGINE LOOK.

Here is a picture of Tee's car CHANCE that I did yesterday and this car has 151,000 miles on this engine!
