sounds good, will keep my fingers crossed, its quite annoying!

Other two times cleared up, lets hope its the same this time!

I had a 240 that I used red can brakleen on and the aluminum developed some interesting colors and crud after using it, since then I stayed away from it. Stuff sure does cut through anything though!

The funny thing was that as I was doing it I made a conscious effort to not get the water on anything other than what I was trying to clean. I have an obsession with clean engines and get upset when I know its dirty ( I know, call me crazy...)

On a lighter note isn't it funny how things seem to happen at the most inopportune times? Never once did my Volvo's act up in the summer with the small petty stuff, its always the winter when its 10 outside and an absolute mess :)
