    just got orange grease lightning from walmart couse didn't had other degreaser (that was used for front. used diluted p21s wheel gel for back wheel wells and dont see any difference). cleaned it with swissvax wheel brush and other big brush. let it dry, applied Adams undercarriage spray, let it sit for 10-15min or so and then removed exes. id say its like armorall original shine for outside


    hate yellow polin stuff. went outside and car is covered with it already, hope its gona be over soon

    Nice 50/50 shots. I hate working on Hondas, I've found them to have wafer thin paint.
