Great job on cleaning the bay, what did you end up using? did you pressure wash/steam clean or just wipe down everything with a particular product  :happy2:

I used deb traffic film remover sprayed it on left to soak for a while and just hosed it off I removed the airfilter so it didn't get wet and covered the air intake up with a plastic bag and a rubber band so the inlet pipe stayed dry
Then air lined it all off, paying extra attention to coil packs etc run the engine till it was all bone dry and dressed the bay with concept PVC sheen

Three of us went to dub mania today it was very wet pretty cold and windy, ive never been to this show before so cant compare it to previous years but the setting is great and had the weather been better im sure the turn out would have been good.

We all had a great day though heres some pics of mine in the show and shine
