and today.



Like Bill, I used a rag stuffed inside to agitate the slime around. Yuck.
But I used Simplegreen instead of break cleaner.and as you can see the results were great. just make sure you rinse quite a few times

Looks great Jim! I'll be trying that out soon. I actually bought new ones for my past cars because they were so dirty. This was before I found out about Bill'* method

Good work, Jim... did that myself the other day...my '04 looked just as bad if not worse... overflow was almost empty, thought I might have been losing coolant!

Looks Purdy!

Always nice to have the overflow tank looking as good as the rest of the engine bay.
