    Yeah...older Nissan's and I haven't gotten along to well in the past.

    Thanks Mike, Well before we started on his car he had it on his nice clean driveway. I had him move it down near the street just in case it did drip. Surprisingly there were no stains or mess. You may want to put down a tarp or something underneath the car to keep it from making a mess. Another thing you can use is a pressurized gardeners sprayer instead of a water hose. You'll notice that you end up using up less water.
    Thanks!

    I saw a pair of ballast on the bay. Guess owner gave it a hid kit (lucky its using projectors - minimize glare) ..
    Thanks Tim, yes they are HID's. I love these lights. I have them on my car as well and it's a world of difference.

    The engine compartment in my daughters Chevy Cobalt looks about that bad and I was thinking of detailing her car for her in the near future. I am a little worried about run off from the engine staining the asphalt ( our street was just repaved ). Is this a concern?
