Looks sweet. What did you use and how?
Your engines a bit dirty for a blobeye

 

Thanks. I used the CD-02 stuff from Halfords. Very easy to use! Not sure how much it is though, a mate bought it for me.

I know...although no dirtier than alot of others I have seen! Its that damn wax stuff they put on it when new, it attracts all the dirt and dust........Have been meaning to give it a proper clean for ages (as opposed to the general wipe over whilst checking the oil etc.) but have only just got round to doing it! My aim is to keep it looking like this from now on though!

 

your engine may look dirty in the first pic,but at least its protected by the factory applied wax.

Unless you are gonna stay on top of it,you are entering a whole new world of corrosion and furry aluminium

It beats me why people insist on doing this,particularly with winter approaching.....you have obviously never owned a Jap motorcycle,those things start to corrode at the first sign of a dark cloud!!

 

I can't believe it can be THAT good for the engine to have all that dirt and grime stuck to it! Even if it is on a wax coating. I was always of the understanding that a clean engine was better than a dirty one.

As said before....I am aiming to keep it looking like this.

Ah well.......I am happy with it!

 

leave the poor chap alone! looks great sir foz! well not as good as mine did but hey that was a P1 engine with front mount!

 

As longas you're happy with it - that's what counts

Good on ya Sir Foz

 

Well long as ya dont keep coming round mine to do it foz

he he he glad ur pleased with the results... Im happy with mine, think i sprayed too much detailer on though!

 

I don't think taking the wax off is a good idea at all













but if you have any spare time this w/e can you come round and demonstrate on mine how it's done

 

 

The CD-2 somes with an engine detailer that protects the engine in the same way as the factory applied wax.

Good job by the way, I can't fault the stuff

Got some CD2 sitting in my garage but I am worried about ruining my engine by removing the origional wax, should I be bothered?

 

Thats what I thought! It does leave a waxy coating to the engine!

It is all protected after all!

 

What do you do with this CD-2 stuff, do you just spray it on and wipe off, or do you spray it on and hose off with water??

Did you protect any of the electics?

By the way, your engine now looks the mutts nutts.

 

Same as above, what electrics do you need to cover as I am doing mine this afternoon.

When you sprayed it on did you us a brush to clean any of the areas or was it as simple as spray on and hose off?

Cheers

Marc

PS Looks very nice

 

how long did that take

Looks V. nice. My wife just couldn't justify me the time to do that

 

Only about 45 mins....not long at all.

 

So was it brushed on or sprayed and then hosed?

 

Just spray it on, either jet wash off or hose off, if your using a jet wash be careful if you have a Sti, as the red crackle may come off if your using it at point blank range.

I just cover my induction kit, the intercooler fins and alarm housing and thats it. If you want me to post some pic's, just say
