I like it!! I use foam tire shine after I degrease and power wash my engine. Sometimes I also use mothers back to black on the black plastic parts and it gives it that new show room look. Try it some time.

next time ill use the mothers back to black, i got some but never thought about it, ive used tire shine and it works great, how do you power wash it? any concerns on the engine electronics?

i messed up spark plugs once when i "washed" and old vehicle that i had

Well I take precautions not to spray the alternator and other electronics with a plastic bag. I spray a degreaser like purple power where it needs it and use the power wash from the carwash. After that I use a leaf blower to quickly dry the parts where the water set. Then the rest by hand. If I'm at a car show I use the foam to shine ( and it's quicker ) if not I take my time and use back to black just to keep it from looking dry from the degreaser. Good luck.

The thing that helps best if u don't have a air compressor is computer air cleaner. It's that can you can get at any place where they sell electronics. Use it in small tight hard to reach places like on emblems, side mirrors, door moldings, and tail lights. I'll try to get some sort of mini write up soon.
