Here'* a pic of Mom'* L27 (93 Buick LeSabre Limited) after I got done with it. Cleaned it up for sale. She ended up getting HIGH retail (rated excellent) from a guy that chased her down on the freeway when he saw the sign in the window.



She is now the proud owner of a 2004 Buick LeSabre with the L36. I haven't seen that one yet.

nice motor pic

Did you use simple green on that? How many miles? I'm thinking of going all out in spring for cleaning mine. I got my yellow wire loom this weekend as well...

I was in Cali, so I didn't have my usual stuff handy. She had a gallon of the concentrated Kirkland (Costco house brand) degreaser. Looks EXACTLY like green antifreeze. 50/50 (way too strong) mix, and an old paintbrush. Then put some in a bottle at the same mix, sprayed the whole thing down, and rinsed 10 minutes later.

Low-gloss armor-all on the rubber/plastic components. 30 minute job. 126k miles, and a long dirt road.

Here'* a dumb question,

Shouldn't this be in detailing?

Oh i totally owned Bill!!!!


Please don't ban me!!! (2nd time in 2 minutes)

Naw, everyone cleans like this with slight variations. I just figgered I'd post the other 3800 I tinker on occasionally.

That engine looks great. Nice job.

DItto. Best 3800 there is

very very nice job! It really doesnt take long to make them look good!

Wow that thing looks like new. It makes me want to go out and get mine cleaner, but i dont think ill be doing that any time soon.
