    I agree fully. A quality citrus-based degreaser will loosen grease and grime from the entire engine compartment, followed by a light, careful water rinse.

    WD40 will only attract dust & dirt--the opposite of what we're trying to accomplish. For those that opt for a tire dressing to coat, be sure it has little or no silicone (silicone is more prone to dry-rot hoses & belts).

    Hey guys! Just been crazy busy lately. Hope everyone is well.

    I'm trying to arrange a date for the clinic on a Saturday. Say the 19th or the 26th, if that works for you guys. Any thoughts?

    I thought we were changing clubs to accommodate more parking or something?

    Really?! Interesting. But I thought the guys at Deko were going all out for us -- including printing flyers, etc.?

    Lupe mentioned the Abyss and I'm reading one of the flyers.

    Yep, the Abyss. And as I recall, it's across the street from Deko.
    Looks like they might get the Ferrari auroa as a 2fer. Hey, it's fine by me!

    Ok, so I finally used the WD40 today and -- after the excess that dripped onto the manifold smoked off... Wowser.

    I have yet to try it. I am going to try it soon though. My engine bay could use a nice cleaning.
