First time I've ever really made any effort to clean up the engine bay on my GXP. That engine sure is in there tight! It was only dusty, so all I used was tire shine on the rubber and plastic stuff and spray bottle full of water on the other stuff. Didn't use or need any cleaner. It sure is a shame our cars have an iron block instead of aluminum. That rust is really gross to see when you pop the hood, and it happens to be the ONLY area under the hood that isn't cramped! LOL

I guess you can tell I "missed a spot or two" but it looks good in person.

Also, I've redesigned my car show display board and also created one for my mom's Camaro SS. If any of you guys are wanting a display designed, be sure to contact me and check out http://brangeta.com/automotive/index.html for more information.

Going to get those two produced later this week.

Sorry, I was thinking of the iron portion of the exhaust manifolds, not the block.
