I've made my share of mistakes...
-ruined a gauge cluster
-baked headlight bulbs while clearing headlights
-blew some fuses and LEDs
-broke the clips off a cover panel
-shocked myself with neons
-dropped screw between amp pos and neg terminals
-screwdriver marks all over dash
You wanna hear more? We all have accidents and I guess it's part of DIY stuff.

Rep Power: 811 Try and pick up some Meguiar's clear coat body scrub. I used it to take tar off my intake and it didn't damage it. But I think the stuff you used actually ruined the finish already. Sorry man.

Rep Power: 0 well, I'll probably just leave it as that for now... i'm so pissed...I'll try to put some polish on the intake, but I guess the struts is done! if I get my turbo someday those have to come off anyway... but that's gonna take about another year... oh well... Thanks for the help guys!

Rep Power: 338 i hear some of that is just too strong. i am still perplexed as to what is best and softest for use... i mean my engine bay is still clean enough to cook on, but i want something that wont damage.
someone said plain/quality car soap will let up the dirt and grime enough..

Rep Power: 0 use white wall cleaner deluted 4:1 with four parts water 1 part cleaner. this is what we use on our carlot and it won't spot your shat. wet your engine down and cover evenly and let it sit for about 5 min but don't let it completly dry works great
