Under the hood detail pics

[2001somws6]

After 2 weeks of not being able to wash her it clears up and is around 75. I took her over and spent a good 3 hours on a quick wash and cleaned up the engine and took a few pics. You have seen the outside now here is the power inside.

What do you think. :flex:

Simple Green is a great cleaning agent too.

[TRY ME GT]

I always loved that color. i think its one of the best ever. looks good bro

Looks awesome! Why would Barry Maguiar sign your car?

[Herloss]

I use -for a degreaser- a product from "Spray Nine" corporation. Hard to find retail stores with their product, I get it direct from the manufacturer. Melts the grease off like it's nothing. I also use a product called "Orange Blast" -it is totally awesome and under the hood it smells orange so you don't get that damn petroleum-chemical smell choking you out after you get in your car and use the A/C or heater......

Because he is very nice and very cool. And i asked him.:buffer:

[REDHEATWS6]

nice, looks like you got it brand new from the dealer.

[jmhvenom]

I used some degreaser last time and it didnt seem to ruin anything, too afraid to clean it like I want though. Seems like whatever I do it just doesnt get clean enough under there.

[4get gto]

Because he is very nice and very cool. And i asked him.:buffer:

He's about as fruity as they come :naughtywa but I still think it's kinda cool.........

Did you ever take notice how close he talks to people and they are always backing away from him ???????????? :wtf:

cool but you just highjacked my thread.:ar:

[Z06-Goose]

Thanks everyone.:cheers:

And its a daily driver to.:yup:

The signature is from barry meguiar.I'll be interested in knowing what kind of durability you've gotten on the products you've used on the black plastic on the engine compartment. That's one of the areas where I've tried numerous products, and none of them has lasted or kept the "black" long enough
Goose-

[2001somws6]

I use black magic tire shine on the black plastic and rubber with an old bug sponge. It holds up real good. I just touch it up from time to time.

Just ware a rubber glove while doing this. That black stuff is a bitch to get off your hands

[cobrahunter]

Sorry 'bout that. Saw ur cool engine shots and thought I'd share.:sillyme:

[2001somws6]

Its all good.:cheers:

[PipeLayaz]

Looks good bro. I think I've already seen your car on ls1tech. It looks good.... like really good. I think only people like you would understand why I spend the amount of time I do cleaning my car. Most of my friends and my wife just don't get it.

Nice signature!

[jwindbigler]

cool but you just highjacked my thread.:ar:

Nah...you really cant top a Sunset Orange Metallic WS6

[jmhvenom]

its all good, I am going to hijack the way he did his FRCs with the Black and Silver... what kind of paint is that?

[9t8z28]

Nice signature!

I am a clean freak too. I try to detail every square inch of my cars!
But, it is impossible. I live on a dirt road!

[cobrahunter]

I used high-temp paint for the primer, gloss black, and silver/chrome details. Then I used a hight temp clear coat; lots of coats :wave:

[jmhvenom]

is the silver/chrome a paint?

Damn. My wife lived on a dirt road when I met her. I HATED that! I dicked up my exhaust a week after i bought it. I feel you.

[cobrahunter]

Yes. The paint was actually labeled "Chrome" for automotive painting, but it actually came out more of a silver/polished look. I didn't want to shell out $300 to have my covers painted. I think they came out okay.

[TheSilverSurfer]

Nice clean engine bay

[91RS355]

nice job man, looks awsome

[Frankthetank]

nice man

[SpeedAddict38]

great job man

[BANDITCAR]

Now that is what I like to see. A super clean engine bay!

You have got to have a passion for these cars to not only keep the exterior clean, but the interior, engine and even the underside.

I have to say, I'm guilty of waxing the underside of my car...I can't help it!

Jeez I thought I was bad!! I never clean under my hood. Seems whenever I used to use tire shine etc. it would attract more dirt and dust. Under my hood actually looks decent despite never being cleaned. Wonder what he means by underside of his car?? Surely not underneath??? LOL

[SpeedAddict38]

all stock but its clean...all i use is stp son of a gun and some elbow grease

A couple weeks ago I decided to clean up my engine bay, and I used some Megs Trim Shine. I think there is better can control with the Trim Shine, but you can't turn this can into a wasp spray unlike the Megs Tire Shine. I don't know what container the Black Magic comes in, but I like the Trim Shine. Not that I can see any room for improvement of the detail on your engine bay.

I have a Triple White. What a PAIN in the ASS to keep up. I can't even begin to say enough. White everywhere. But when she's clean, she is a gorgeous convertible!

HL

i keep reading about triple white trans am's!! I have a 2000 arctic white trans am.......whta is the difference?

[BANDITCAR]

Triple White, I believe means White exterior paint, white leather interior and white Convertible top. Pretty rare combination.
