It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

See that silicon brightener stuff being sprayed on the engine, it causes no end of problems if you ever wanna do a paint job.
Even after fully degreasing, jet washing, sanding down, etc, you just can't get it all off, and spray paint reacts and bubbles up as soon as it hits it.  :'(

Mr Sheen polish is just as good as black and shine for a fraction of the cost, I have tried both  :)
