Use the armorall on it (Kris had a post about it on the first page). It'll make it look 100x better.

After

Hey Jordan that was clean to start with just a lot of Dust and dirt not old oil and grime.

[Jordan]

No.. there was definately a ton of oil and grime and grease cakes.

The car was woman owned all its life, and very poorly cared for. No maintenace what so ever...

[natorious]

well i did mine with a bucket of water some sprays and some rags... and mine had 14 years of NYC grime on it and a healthy coat of cosmoline on everything... it will look like your brothers eventually its still a work in progress

i gotta figure out a way to rig up a hose... maybe to my washer water connection or something... and run it out the dryer vent

[DanGillan]

well ive got a new strut brace on the way , and i have to get my engine "ready" for it. Jordan, what did you use to get your little brother's e30 engine bay to look like that?

[bmwannabe]
