Could've been worse. At least your wheels didn't get ****ed up

Does anyone know what the normal price of a set of used heads is? Someone kinda local to me is selling a set and I wanna make sure it's not way too high as I might just snag them and get them ported eventually and set up with new springs for a cam

So I need a whole new tire. $210

Dreamcar16 · 07-20-2016, 12:51 PM

my review so far: the sprays and car shampoo are amazing. however, the wheel cleaning tools are useless since i can barely get it to fit inside my rims. claybar works great and love the h20 gloss and guard.

can i use the "all purpose cleaner" to clean my exhaust?

yes, works great on the inside of exhaust, then you can polish them with some chrome polish.

Rims are always a bit_h to clean. I do mine first because it takes so long when they are really bad after a long trip.

I use all purpose cleaner (apc) on my wheels, tires and wheel wells. It's great because you can buy a gallon of the stuff and dilute it while still retaining the strength of the cleaner so it can last a while. I think my last gallon jug of Meguiars APC lasted me over a year. Hard to beat that for $15 bucks lol

Also use it on my exhaust tips, then polish them at least once a month

how do i dillute it, do i just fill it with tap water? this spray bottle is fairly small and i highly doubt it'll last me a couple months. also, do you guys clean the engine bay? im afraid ill light up my dashboard like a christmas tree.

Get a spray bottle that has measurements on the side to help with diluting but tap water is fine. Usually one ounce of the apc to X ounces of water. I usually go for one ounce of apc to 10 ounces of water unless I need more cleaning ability then I'll go to one ounce of apc to 5 ounces of water. When you see dilution ratios it is usually X ounces of water to Y ounces of solution (X:Y).

Only engine bay cleaning I do is by hand to wipe things down. I've never hosed it down, but I know you can. I'm sure someone else here has done it before, if not check the detailing section

I use waterless wash on the engine. Spray onto old microfiber towel. And for any stubborn/oil stains, spray APC on a microfiber and wipe down, followed by waterless wash. If you keep it pretty clean, maintenance is pretty easy, as most will just be dust from road/driving.
