Do you just spray this stuff on?

Wicked, i bought some CD2 yesterday on the basis of the 'Before and After' threads i've seen on here, can't wait till i get to try it out!

Some details of what specific electrics you avoided would be nice Brun.

TBH all i did was put a plastic bag over the K&N and a plastic bag over the alarm, and a piece of card on the intercooler to protect the fins.
On the instructions it says just hose the stuff off, but i went mad with a power washer and everything was fine

I have a bodyshop and silicone is the devils spawn to bodyshops as if there are any present when you are painting a car it will **** the job up completely buy not letting the paint stick to the panel!
So we have to use silicone free everything, including wax!

cheers
