not bad. nice job on the valve cover. most of the time people fail at getting that shiny

but... i can see a lot of areas that still need quite a bit of help. under the coolant reservoir comes to mind the most...



I'm tired of wasting my time... now I'm breakin' free.

best bet wit that area is to completely remove the coolant res. doesnt need to be un-hooked, just moved out of the way. then you can get under there with some cleaner and a rag and go to town.

thats the best way i found to do it anyways.

what process and chemical did you use for your valve cover?

Lucas slick mist is all i used, along with a 100% cotton cloth.

Also, when cleaning i like to stick to one direction, either left to right, up and down, never circular though. maybe it's just me, does anyone know if going different directions matter? i think someone once told me it did matter when it comes to waxing.
