    I know a guy who loves his
    shelby mustang and he told me he even gets the engine cleaned by a detailer, any of you ever heard of this.
    Seems a little extreme to me but he goes to car shows so i guess the engine need to be clean too.

    I do my own, can be time consuming and you gotta be careful about electrical connections and such.

    not unusual at all, even my local DIY car wash place has a setting for an engine cleaner. Detailers do great work.

    Chiquillo, I've used the Pig Spit on my Harley before, love it. Never thought about using it on my truck, then again it's a work truck and I couldn't care less what the engine looks like as long as it runs...

    When you have a car like that Hand wiping only. I clean all my Engines at least once a year. Also makes it easyer to maintain.

    Is one of the best Spray detailers I have ever use. expensive if you compare to other brands, But way better!!!!
    I did a Detail like 3 years ago, At the end of all the paint work, I use Pig-spit as the last step to give a deeper gloss finish

    Man, Came out more than Nice!!! This is a Product specially for Details!!!
