I cleaned the driver side headlight bucket area with a wet rag, a tooth brush, and a lot of time...
I'm glad I thought about putting car soap in a spray bottle. It made cleaning this a lot faster:

Could be better but I'm pretty happy with the results. I wish I had a tiny wire wheel so I could get the inside of the spring. There was paint overspray everywhere. so I had to use some steel wool.
looks like some ocd level cleaning
That's what im talking about! Looks great!!!! I can dig a clean engine bay!
Now we can have a picnic!! Looks NEW!
Thanks for the kind words!
I would say this was more of a lazy level. :3:Quote:

But you can put that K&N air filter on oily greasy dirt & it will dissolve & wash away the worst gunk & make it look clean. That's my secret cleaner.
