I use Greased Lightning Shop & Engine Degreaser. Product has been the best yet I've used. Comes in a purple pump spray bottle. What I like about the product is that it starts attacking dirt & grime right away. All I have to do is rinse it off using the fan spray setting on my water nozzle. No real force is required when rinsing the engine bay. Keeps the electronics exposed to minimal moisture.

The spray can says to wipe off any excess after the drive & heat-set of the CD-2. Following the can hasn't produced acceptable results for me in the past. That's why I stopped using the product. Bob's procedure worked for me.

For me, it didn't work in the past. Keep in mind, when I used CD-2 on my Merkur XR4Ti's, these were non-intercooled turbo engines and that might be too much heat setting for CD-2. Always turned yellow and made the engine bay a mess.

The F-150 turned out great. I am glad my procedure has helped some of you. I absolutely love the stuff, and will use nothing else.
OldSalt, you should be able to find CD-2 at AutoZone. It is a TurtleWax product. They quit selling it for several years.... Something to do with PETA complaints Anyway, they must have figured out how to get around whatever their complaint was, and began selling it again about a year and a half ago.
