[BevHevSteve]

I have tried lots of stuff, here is my short list of what REALLY works.

*For RUBBER
~ Meguire's #40 Vinyl & Rubber [cleaner/conditioner]

*For PAINT
~ Meguire's #34 Final Inspection [spritz on cleaner]
~ 3M #05997 Perfect-It Hand Glaze [gentle rubbing compound]
~ 3M #05928 Finesse-It Finishing Material [polishing liquid/swirl remover]
~ Meguire's #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax [excellent carnuba wax]

*More products I recommend
For CHROME & BRASS ~ NEVER-DULL or Wellbaum's New Luster Metal Polish
For ENGINE CASES ~ Simple Green, spray on, rince off in 5 mins don;t let dry or you are in for a mess
For GLASS & PLASTIC ~ Sprayway Glass Cleaner

Time is money, so I tried alot of different products to see what would work
the best when I had my shop, the above list is what I always used and still
do.

Steve, is it the Simple Green Atomotive Degreasing stuff or the regular household Simple Green that you find under the sink in the kitchen?

[BevHevSteve]

The simple green I have is what is left of a gallon jug of the stuff I bought several years ago. The remainder is now in an old pepsi liter size plastic bottle. I remember seeing to reduce with water on the label, I have a spritzer I keep loaded up with the stuff, but mix it about 50/50 with water. Since it was several years ago, and a large suply of the green stuff, I would imagine it was the industrial stuff not the watered down stuff you can get in a spritzer bottle presently. Either way though, it works great IF you water everything down, spritz on and keep wet then rince off, followed up with an air blast and a ride.
