I went out to look for Simple Green but for some reason Wal-Mart nor CT had it so I got one of the newer Gunk Products which cleans and polishes so that it doesn't look dull afterwards. It also came in a nice orange scent too haha oohhhhhh. And most of the the heavy duty cleaners that I read clearly stated that it should not be used on Ashphalt. So I guess I'll just drive half my car on the grass and kill that instead of my driveway

well sounds like I'll be using simple green. I just have to figure out how to cover the alternator effectively. By the way ~ILLEST CIV~, your engine looks like money bro. I need to get mind looking like that, right now it looks like a bomb hit it.

troo... but no rain or winter would ever be able to splash upwards enough to be anywhere nearly as drenching as a hose in the engine bay... i'd play it safe and cover it up still... i cover up the alternator as well...

I was going to post before and afters today, but Scott Newman being the nice guy that he is gave a real quick clean of the engine when he did my timing belt install, so the before and after isn't going to be as drastic as it should have been
