May have to order some of that next time I place an order with ADS. Is it water based as well or does it come already pre mixed?

 

Water based, order the bottle as well.

 

Definitely will order a second bottle. I'm about to place an order for some hyperdressing (went to town with my previous bottle getting ready for the show) so will be sure to get some APC as well. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

No problem. I just want to make sure, you're buying the bottles that are labelled and have the proper dilution ratios on them, right?

 

Looks great! Explain your process on detailing the engine? I just picked up some APC, but I want to know how to rinse the engine without damaging it.

 

Yeah I do buy the ones with the dilution ratios on the side, these are the ones I buy and I always get the ones labeled with the product inside the bottle.

For me I didn't start out with too dirty of an engine to begin with, more dusty than dirty. Everything was done by hand, I avoid spraying a stream of water directly into my engine. I had my bottle of SG 1:1 ratio and a rinse bucket. I sprayed the entire engine down with SG, let it sit on for a couple of minutes and proceeded to rub it in. Then I used a clean, soft terry cloth and wiped it all off. Last step was to use hyperdressing to detail it, I simply sprayed the hyperdressing on and let it dry itself. I rubbed it in in areas where it seemed to accumulate due to gravity and around all the hoses.
