Yeah Never Do It On A Hot Engine Or You Might Run The Risk Of Cracking It

One bad thing about simple green is that it will strip any kind of wax you have on your car...So if it splashes up on your fenders you will want to reapply wax... __________________ My Junk www.myspace.com/cjobe

I will on the record say: "Follow directions on product label." Though, I do things my own way. __________________ ModdedAutos 1999 Mustang V6 I used to list my mods here but stopped when I exceeded 255 characters.
