Oh. Ok then....I'll still look anyway!!

RBOE is the stuff.

By the way - engine bay looks great too. I just did the CD2 thing to my daily driver CRX and...I hate it. It looks all shiny, which I suppose is fine, but that stuff makes working on the car a real headache. I much prefer the look of your engine bay, and I bet it's not misery to do work under there either!

It's pretty easy to keep my engine bay clean. Luckily no leaks (radiator aside) and not a lot of tight places to deal with (yet)...LOL

Not the place I wanted to take photos today, but I ran out of time so I took some pictures outside of my apartment. Yes, that's a couch you see waiting for the bulk item pick up. The joys of off street parking.

GTO looks fantastic! How is the RBOE to apply and remove? I may have to add yet another wax to my collection.

For me there's a learning curve to applying by hand...LOL Honestly it's pretty effortless even with an applicator. If you get a thin layer applied removing is a breeze. Very little if any dusting. Results are great.

The car looks great Shauna.

I experienced the same thing as Shauna. My first time with it, I used entirely too much, and put it on too thick. I'm certain that I wasted a lot of product. Ben's suggestion in his instructions - rub your hands together repeatedly, look between your fingers, that kind of thing - is right on. I just reapplied for the first time since July, and I've gotten a whole lot better with it.

OK, after writing the above paragraph, I spent about an hour watching the US Open, and then went out to remove the RBOE...

I may be applying too much still, as a single pass doesn't remove the stuff altogether. But here's what I'm finding works really well for me. I take two or three of my best microfiber towels and go over the car (a Honda S2000, small car) once. Then I take a break. Once I'm ready to go back at it, I get out my "special super duper" towel - one of the super plush ones from Phil - and buff it one last time.

This seems to leave no traces of it, apart from a glistening wet look like I posted photos of in my own review of RBOE. Can't wait to get it out in the daylight tomorrow!
