Default S100 Polish

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using S100 Polish to clean engine fins by primary,oops white stuff all over the inner primary.
Wouldnt come off with simple green and brush,ended up scrubbing it off w/wd40 then washing the wd off with dish soap.Is there an easier way maybe not getting the white stuff on the black engine parts.Still not finished w/the fins but not sure if I want to clean white stuff off black engine parts again.Is there an easier way.
thanks in advance

Sure.....just dont use the S100 polish to clean the fins. There are plenty of other products out there that will do a much better job and not get any stains on the black engine pant.

I use Simple Green, spray it on, let it sit, brush it off, rinse, and dry. I power dry it with the Master Blaster. THEN, spray S100 Engine Brightener on the black fins and Blacked out part of the engine. Wipe off any overspray on chrome parts. Turns out great. Give it a try.

I use S100 spray cleaner and a scrub brush. I don't polish fins.
