Well the show is on saturday, and time is ticking by fastly. So far i have cleaned the entire underbody, spare tire, complete interior, changed the oil, rotated the tires, painted calipers, and the front end bra is in the dryer now to knock whatever little bit of dirt that may be on it off. Tomorrow i have to do the door sills, wash it, glass it, clean the windows, polish the chrome, clean the bed, and clean the engine bay. What i wanted to double check on is cleaning the engine bay. I picked up some simple green, and also some other engine cleaner stuff. Its not that dirty or greasy, but its got alot of dust on it. I'll use the simple green unless it doesn't do it well enough. Then i'll use the other stuff. What i wanted to know was what all should i cover up? I know i should cover the alternator, but i didn't know if i should cover the battery, and exactly where are the coil packs??? Am i missing anything else? I'll check this in the morning before i go to the car wash to do it, so hopefully i can get some quick responses.



So far it has rained every day i've been working on it, and i've had to stop in the middle of what i was doing and wait for it to stop cuz i don't have a garage. . They are also calling for rain 2morrow, so i may just wash it, then saturday i'll get up around 6 and wet the truck down, absorb it, then glass it. I quickly forget how much work it takes to clean this truck up to show quality. But it'll be worth it I have about 10 hours into it already and i'm not done yet.

thanks again for any help!

 

Let me give ya a bump.

I responded to it in general care.

 

Thanks Intel, i got it. I made like 3 of these threads so i knew i could get a response in time.

 

I was wondering if you are getting your ride prepared for an event? You seem to put a lot of time into making it show quality. In case you are, good luck.

 

GASGUZZLER007, you got that right. By the time i'm done i'll have about 20 hours into it. Alot of work but it should be worth it. I'll post pics of the show next week sometime. The show is tomorrow, 544 cars going, 1 in 3 gets a trophy so hopefully i can add to my collection. Here's a link with alot of what i've already done to it, so if your bored and feel like reading something, here ya go. LoL well time to go work on the truck
