Ita all that driving he does to bring the Subaru community together at events, negotiate special deals & sort the PTA group out, not to mention Charity work....

SOmething has to give......seems a dirty engine isn't too bad.

I did mine myself a little while back with the CD2 stuff, real easy to do and doesn't take too long.

Yep, pretty much. You get two cans, one is the cleaner stuff and the second (which always seems to be loads left over) is the detailer, just follow the instructions on the box and all worked fine. I kept the engine running during the rinse-off, and obviously take a bit of care around the electrical components.

Now where is Subaru Assists number

Spray it on, use a brush for the really caked in dirt, leave for about 10 mins, run engine and wash off, being careful with the electrical connectors, once dry, spray on the detailer
