TomoHawk Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I was thinking of stuff to use under the hood to clean off the gunk & protect what paint there is under there, and I saw my can of tire foam on the shelf! I just foamed it onto the painted areas, let it sit a couple, and then wipe off the dirt & shine it up a little. Got some on the wires & hoses, but it should do them a little good too, because it's supposed to (moisturize?), clean and protect rubber stuff by design. After treatment, I let it dry up a while to eliminate fire hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 There's also some stuff called CD2 that is a spray on treatment designed specifically for underhood use - protects paint and rubber products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Scrubbing bubbles will remove dirt and grease also, without the markup of a car specialty product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 I suppose any foaming stuff that "goes away" would work, but the tire foam also leaves a protective coating and cleans and treats the wires and rubber hoses too. Like putting Amour-All on after you clean. t's why I used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 Is there anything you can do you those plastic dash caps to make them less reflective? sanding/buffing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
