I go home, put my stuff in the storage locker, take a shower, get a beer and tell my woman to make me something to eat. On Tuesday I might bring my stuff in a start cleaning it. Maybe not....

Hi imaxx21, do you get any rust? I have been wanting to spray mine down with water too, but worried my bearing and other metals will rust.

I pay my mechanic to clean and rebuild my car. Cleaning includes bearing cleaning, CVD cleaning, polishing all metals, washing plastic parts, etc . Basically he tear down the car almost completely, clean the whole things, and rebuild it from ground up.
I clean & rebuild the engine myself...... I don't trust him.
When the car arrive, it does look like new.
