Default Night Train detailing ???
What are you guys using to get the blacked out parts on your NT squeaky clean?
I never seem to get the results I want and I'd like some ideas.

Simple Green, and then after dry use S100 Brightner. It has a little wand on the can to help spray only where you want it to go and is a great product.

S100 or pig spit. i like pig spit a little better, you get a larger can for about the same price. you can get it at most wal-marts in the automotive section.

+1 on the S100.

I've heard good things about the Pig Spit as well, but so far have only recently used the S100. Engine had a kinda gray tint to it pretty much since I first got it. S100 cleaned everything up super nice. Looks better than new.

Pig spit & S100. I wonder if they use one of these at my dealer because whenever it has come back from service it looks brand new. Whenever I wash it at home it always has some residual dirt and it looks dull.
