AZBill came by this morning and we did a quick clean of his engine and tranny. Came out pretty nice. He has a very clean (freshly painted) 2.0. Underside panels got nice and clean and I have never seen a muffler heat sheild that came clean with the original 30 year old paint still looking good. He's got fresh exhaust and all the trimmings which looked real sharp - this ought to show it off some!

Man, that CAP water does a nice job as a degreaser! Hey, is that sway bar link supposed to look like that? Looks almost horizontal.

Exactly. That rear bar doesn't work with the links in that position. |

The trunk floors were black when we started, got nice and clean, but I see that I missed a spot just ahead of the dog bone. I think I understand what others are saying about the rear bar. I think if you disconnect the drop links - and point them straight up and down vs. fore/aft and reconnect you'll get more benefit from that bar. The way it is now, it looks like it only starts working when the rear suspension really starts to compress.

The way it is now, it never works. It just sits there while the links freely move up and down. Someone needs to disconnect the links, move the bar into a position above the suspension drop link points and then reconnect the links in a vertical position. |

Hey Joe, you're starter needs a wash and wax! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Great car! It looks great. AZBill, I'm surprised the pressure washer didn't blast the paint off that Bursch. Give it a few miles... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

Hey Travis, I just picked up the same pressure washer yesterday (at least it looks like the Husky 1700psi model).....actually, went in 50/50 with my neighbor to help offset the cost of it...thing works great, I wish I had bought one years ago (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Did you guys use any type of cleaner or soap when spraying the car?? |

I think it's a husky, must be Girlfriend got it at home depot. It is a 1750 unit. Did not use any cleaners other than just water. It kicks some serious butt!
I have to read the instructions, but I think it has a resivior to house liquid cleaner. On my wheelwell job I pressure washed first, then squirted degreaser in there and used a scrub brush real quick, then shot it again with the washer. The pressure washer works great for removing crud, but it doesn't leave a really clean surface, if you follow up with a washrag or brush, that will work best. Hey, that might be fun with dish soap. I remember when I was a kid and I put liquid soap in the dishwasher. BUBBLESSS everywhere! all over the floor.. Ah, if you could hook it up to your hot water heater.. hmmm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |
