    Hey guys,

    This car belongs to a family friend ('uncle' if you will) who happens to own and operate a fleet of these town cars. This particular one had 200,000+ KMs on the odometer, so there was a lot of build up, but I decided if I could do this job quick, easily and effectively it would turn into a quick $30 for about 25 minutes of work.

    Process:
    - Rinsed with Electric Pressure washer on LOW.
    - Sprayed entire engine down with purple power bio-degradeable degreaser full cut (airfilter box, battery, alternator covered).
    - Scrubbed with medium bristle brush
    - Rinsed with PW
    - Dressed with AA Tire foam (8 for $4 - cashier accident)

    I do the same technique on most of my engine jobs as well. It does not say how you dried the engine before the AA tire foam, but I use a leaf blower and it works great. It takes about 10 min off your time if you used one!

    Great job!

    Actually I used good old fashioned terry cloth rags (the ones you wash with a hose), soaked up a lot of the water ran the engine for about 5-7minutes (i hate idling personally). After running the engine, I drove the thing "spirited-ly" around the block a few times, came back, and used good old AA tire foam.
