I am going to take a wild guess here... this stuff is only good for a light dirty? couldnt see it working well with a bit of mud... I am going to buy it and try just for my curiosity. Thanks for the input guys.

Yea if you had mud on your truck I would take it down to the coin-op and knock the mud off first.

You are correct there.

BTW-- what do you do for the USN?

HMC Ryan (omit last name on internet) reporting from NAS-JRB Fort Worth.
(granted, I am taking up the USN on the ROTC idea-- Seattle here we come!)

In fact, today I just took off my CPO uniform for the last time... I wont be in uniform again for another 2 months... the end of an era...

Torpedoman submarines. Im currently in groton, ct heading down to kingsbay, ga in two weeks. Been in 3 years now. Spent 2 years at the ceremonial guard in washington d.c. A year here in school and now I have to report to the west virginia uss 736.

As to the simple green, do you just spray and rinse being careful not to get the electrical. ( never done inside the hood in a newer vehicle) or do I clean each part with a cloth and spray?
