We have CD-2 in stock at our Checker, so it should also be available at Kragen and Schuks.

used it several times and love it. I just hate the smell it gives off after the first couple miles after you drive it

You can still find CD-2 almost anywhere online or your local auto supply store. Black magic works in bringing faded black rubber plastic parts back to a deep black but I don't use it on my stang but when I detail others cars I do use it. To me it is a cover up and temporary. The CD-2 can be used on everything in the engine bay and will last for the year on my DD. If you live in a dusty area or off a dirt road I would NOT recommend it as the stuff will trap dust after it is applied until it is fully dry so please read and follow the directions on the can. It is basically like a resin that resists oil gas and debris. It doesn't attract dust once dry but will while its drying...... trust me on this one! Engine bay looks great !
