Re: engine components
Most people will suggest using APC dilluted and follow that with Hyper Dressing. That is a great combo! If I am out of Hyper Dressing then I use #40 and get excellent results too. The key is a good degreaser to get all the **** off."I drink windex........it keeps me from streaking." -
Re: engine components
APC 10:1 to clean it.
Hyper Dressing 4:1 for the shine. if that doesn't cut you shine liking, apply another coat.Comment

Re: engine components
APC+ 4:1 to clean it, then #40 to dress it is what I use.Lydia's Mobile Detailing

Re: engine components
isn't the new APC like the old APC+?
i start with 10:1 and if that doesn't cut it i move it up to 4:1.
i really enjoy seeing how each individual styles differ from user to user.Comment

Re: engine components
I find it weird that everyone recommends APC+ when it just doesnt do much for me. Ive been wanting to get some Super Degreaser or Safe Degreaser and give them a try. I figured Super Degreaser would be the strongest so I may go for that.Current Jeep: 2004 Jeep Liberty with stuff

i just bought some super degreaser and diluted it like at least 18:1 and it was awesome. I only used it on exhaust tips but it works really efficiently even diluted that much.
I think that it will handle pretty much anything you through at it.
Plus it smells nice. ha

Good point! Everyone on MOL and elsewhere know that I hate detailing engines. But if I do, I really love the Super Degreaser. It works extremely well. But do use only as directed!

Re: engine components

Dewaxing 20:1
Medium Duty Degreasing 10:1
Heavy Duty Degreasing 4:1ScottComment

Re: engine components
do it really diluted if it doesn't do the job just add some more degreaser.
The least aggressive product doesn't have to apply only to polishes.

True, very true.

Re: engine components
I actually have 2 bottles set up, and ready to go. One at 4:1 and the other at 10:1. In most cases, when it comes to grease etc on an engine, I use mostly the 4:1 ratio.Originally posted by BlueZero View Post
