Actually, any clearcoat safe polishing compound will remove the dirt and stains. Just do small sections at a time and then when you are done, use Maguire's NXT Generation® Tech Wax® 2.0 to make it shine. Carnauba wax will yellow from the heat Same trick goes for your polished wheels

At 19.95 a bottle I didn't want to spend $40.00 just to try their product. I'll buy a clearcoat safe compound off the shelf. |

Anyone trying this? Polishing your engine?
Recently I found a product called "RamRodz". They are like Q-Tips on steroids. They are intended as gun cleaning tools, but they work excellently for polishing hard to reach engine parts. They range in size from .17 inch dia. up to 1/2 inch dia. They use bamboo sticks that are quite flexible to get into tight places, but strong enough to not break easily. A full selection box contains 680 swabs, so you have enough to last a long time. I have found many uses for these. |

I've found that using anything with abrasives will change the finish anywhere you use it.

Just cleaned my LT5 engine to a like new clean with Arm and Hammer Extreme White Toothpaste. About 3 hours labor, 1/2 tube of toothpaste, 1 brush, and a pint spray bottle of water. Going to check out the Maguires NXT wax.

I used Arm and Hammer Extreme Whitening Toothpaste to clean my LT5 to show room look. I used a toothbrush originally, but on doing touchup I used a microfiber cloth on my finger tip, dipped in water, and a dab of toothpaste. Man I was really surprised how good it looks. I rub a bit and spray with water from a spray bottle and dry. Although the toothbrush did the original work, I prefer the microfiber wrapped on my finger. You can actually see the oxidation removed on the cloth. Took me about 3.5 hours of love and labor.
