cant deny the shine though

(might try it with moms car)
Well it's really good at breaking down dirt, thats for sure !!!!
As far as rubber, probably not good for it, but it sure does clean the hoses well !

Who really cares on a 20 year old car though.. it worked real well cleaning ! For a job like my engine bay, WD-40 works much better than alot of "engine cleaning sprays" or "All Purpose cleaners" out on the market !!
