Detailing
If nothing else my stang is clean, I seek perfection when I am detailing. From all the pics I have seen on here, you guys share the same Infactuation with your ride as I do. The engine compartment, in my view, is absolutely the hardest to detail and get right. I thought I would start this post to share some tips as to keeping the dreaded engine compartment clean. If your like me you finish with a showroom shine, sore back, and 10 busted knuckles..hehe
So whats you best engine detailing tip?

RE: Detailing
After I have dried off the car (detail spray when wet.. then dry with microfiber), I use that microfiber towel to wipe the bay out. I do this whenever I clean the car. Easy maintenance.

RE: Detailing
Take a heat gun, mine is wagner power stripper, evenly heat up the decal and soon you will see it raise a little and you can easily peel it off by hand. Then to remove the residue you could use goo gone, but everyone doesnt have goo gone laying around, but everyone has WD-40. Put WD-40 on a rag and it will remove the residue with ease.

I didn't let them put those POS's on my baby. They get pissy about it but they didn't get near my baby with their logo. I just told them that if they put it on I would charge them a $.43 per mile advertising fee, which you can do in Arkansas, not sure about other states.
