Fantastic. Did you remove before the drying cycle? Works well on baseball caps also.

The inside recesses come cleaner when the faces point up. I got busted doing the same thing. For plastics the water pre-heat is best left off. Works great for fog lights but you need to remove reflectors first.

LOL!! This cracks me up. If you keep doing this, she will figure it out. They always do! Sooner or later. Then you will be in big trouble, lol. Just tell her and it will be so much better in the final result, and she may have some ideas to clean them better. If you come "clean" with her, she will love you for it, I promise!

I was thinking about putting the fan from my 3.0 in the dish washer, but Julie got home too soon.

Lol. She figured me out a long time ago. And yes, after I glass bead blasted the intake and fan on my 3.2 they went to the kitchen parts cleaner.

The dishwasher, oven, and freezer have all been used for the "greater good." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

A beautiful sight! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

It's a great solution for cleaning those types of parts.

Last week I was looking for a set of FAG bearings I'd ordered for the rear trailing arms. I couldn't figure out what I'd done with them, and was reminded by Angie that they were in the basement freezer. She doesn't even flinch anymore.

I had 200 old motherboards that I needed to clean for an office "art" project. After she came home and found this, I had to go buy another dishwasher.

I've used that cleaning technique on valve covers, oil pans, motorcycle wheels etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Always makes the house smell like a proper professional mechanic's establishment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

ALWAYS remember to run the dw empty on a short cycle when finished. Check for trace evidence on the food screen/filter. "What's all this junk in the bottom of the dw?". "What junk?". Busted.

Best to avoid the engine bits. I've learned that doing valve covers is a multi-day doghouse offense.

same with heat curing motorcycle heads in the oven after "hot" paint has been applied.
That was almost a new oven. I learned, do it first thing in the morning and "ventilate with outside air".
