CD-2 engine detailer kit is the STUFF!!! I've used it and it does make your engine look brand new when done. The stuff stinks to high heaven...so do it in your driveway...not your garage!

 

thank you guys.i'm gonna go see if they have it at my local pep boys

 

How will that CD-2 stuff react with any painted engine part (exp. Wire cover, intake pipes, caps & stuff)?

 

They recomend keeping it off of yr windshield, body panels, distributor (coil in our case) and the open end of the intake. Other than that it's pretty much hose down the whole thing with CD2 and watch in amazement.... This stuff really works.

 

ok guys CD-2 has been discontinued i bought the last 2 sets from pep boys, it does not harm painted engines or paint really because u just hose it all off i never cover or do nething special like that, good luck finding some, i went to 3 differant pep boys to find it

 

Hmm... you sure it's discontinued? I mean, this is made by Turtle Wax, and seems pretty popular smile.gif

Just did a little search...
CD-2 Cleaner

 

I had bought some from Pep Boys about a month ago and it was on cleareance, so maybe Pep Boys is just not going to sell it anymore. I got the set for like 3 bucks eek.gif wink.gif

 

it DOES mess up painted engines,... i know by experience.
You cna avoid this by just not touching the parts that are painted. You can still spray on them, but dont try to wipe them clean, or youll pay for it.
I have to repaint my engine again.

Hey,... but the stuff works REAL good. wink.gif
