It looks like it needs a couple more coats but other than that it looks great. You should think about getting some loom or painting some more pieces to get some more color in the engine bay if thats what your going for.

Are these the 'before' pics? Yeah, no offense, but either your cleaner didn't work too well or your poop was REALLY dirty.
And who is Slmz?

^^LMAO
looks like the daily driving has taken it's toll. might want to gunk it down a couple more times to get that hard crap off. another thing that works good is simple green.

haha Lucky for me, i just got my alero from a dealership like 3 months ago, so the engine bay came Clean as a whsitle...and considering i clean in the engine bay every time i wahs my car...i guess mine is awesome clean lol.
one tip though...if you use a chemical to clean under your hood. DO NOT let it hit the altenator, my friend did that and when he started the car the altenator Caught fire and totally fired lol justa warning

You're right I don't need help sanding 4 numbers and 3 letters. I will go the simple green route but after ASS. It will be about a 12 to 14 hour drive one way. Some of that stuff makes hoses weak, plus I don't have the time right now :o
looks good redog! i gotta get to painting my engine components and running hosing and stuff like that also <_<

It could, but most likey no.
Anyway not good to do before driving 691 miles, one way.
BTW 31.74 MPG is what I logged yesterday with a fully loaded trunk :thumb:
