Going from this  to this in 30 mins... with minimal effort..  How? Finally found something worth doing as it dissolves the caked grime. Go to sams club and get a gallon of this.

Let it seat for 15 min, and use a red scotch brite... May need to repeat if needed... use additional tools if desired (toothbrush) -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

just picked up some of the stuff from sams that njccmd2002 suggested, ProForce Heavy Duty Degreaser. as soon as im able to use it, ill let you all know my expirience with it. ill be using a 1:10 ratio as suggested by the web site for "soke tank"use. only issues i have with this is that it is not safe for aluminum..

i used that stuff before reading this article even.
works awesome but i didnt mix it with water though, i sprayed a little on the wheels, and with water wet cloth wiped them, everything came off immediately. before that many car washes couldnt get that stuff off. but this one did! is this safe for paint/primer/exterior when mixed with water? my cars still pretty dirty/greasy from the swap? -------------------- For Sale:OEM tail lights - make offer
