Razz--I've been wanting to do the degreaser. What did the driveway look like when you were done? Can the firewall be hit with a degreaser and power washer or is this "toothbrush only" zone? :rolleyes:

driveway was a little messy so i just power washed it when i wash finished :jester i think i was more dirty than the driveway by the time i was finished...i did use a bio-degradable,non-toxic and no smell de-greaser cause my friend has a dog and i did all this at his place.. the washer was pretty powerfull so i didnt hit the firewall,scared it would rip or tear something..it ripped some old paint of off the frame so be careful not to hit ur paintjob :eek:
