As an aside, for those of you that know me, the idea of me giving advice on how to clean an engine compartment is pretty funny. I guess I was desperate. If you hear me start talking about cleaning the bottom of a ZR-1 it will be time for an intervention. Jim |

The reason I'd suggest Revive is that its properties lend itself better to the removal of 'stains' or discoloration from embedded contamination. Ideally you'd start with SHR and then finish with Revive to get the best of both... thats how the system was designed. In any event it looks like you got excellent results with just the SHR, I was just offering a possible alternative to those in the audience ![]()

Thanks for the explanation. Maybe I will give the Revive Polish a try now that I have completed Step 1.

As with any "sensitive paint" it will be susceptible to staining, discoloration, or worse if harsh chemicals are used for cleaning. This is the reason I suggested that even if the engine compartment were VERY dirty he use a highly diluted mixture of APC in a spray in order to control what got wet and what didn't. Trust me, I don't go around telling people with potentially problematic areas of their car to grab the hose and the harshest chemical they can find and apply with an SOS pad... if I had no clue what I was talking about I'd have been run out of business a loooooong time ago.

I use Toothpaste and distilled water.
Cleans my LT-5 right up and it smells minty fresh ![]() Then I hand dry it with towel and leaf blower to be safe. |

The engine looks great! Thanks for the tips. I will be purchasing these products shortly to give this a try.
Thanks, Jason
