i use gunk to clean my engine. wut should i use to clean all the plastic under the hood?

a damp cloth should do the trick. Your really only wiping up a build up of dust, not really grease and grime.

Although you should follow up with a nice dressing to keep it looking really good.

I like CD2 engine detailer. It makes everything nice and dark, without being greasy to the touch, in fact its dry.

Its a little hard to find depending on where you live, but your local autozone/kragen should have it.
CD2 is used after the engine bay is cleaned, not to clean it.

does 303 smell bad and if so how quick does it go away?

what do you guys use on your rims (wax)

thanks

UPDATE: smell is not an issue at all, this product is great for interior and under the hood. No sticky mess, no dust attraction, just a deep clean look without the blinding shine

303 is great under the hood and lasts well. Check out the engine bay sticky for more info.

I use a few different things on wheels. Wheel wax works well, but I use OPT opti-seal often.

Yup. Great for off the shelf product. If I was to buy anything in the store it would be a Megs product, then Mothers.

Hello everyone. I'm not sure this is right thread for my question but I'll try
Does anybody know web-site with information about Mazda OBD-II trouble codes? I was searching on the mazdatechinfo.com but I didn't find any information. Thanks in advance.

Yeah not so much
This is the detailing section and a detailing supplies thread to boot. I think you would do better to search out the sub forum of the specific Mazda model you own and try a questions in there. Or use the search button.

I actually need all trouble codes for all vehicles with detailed diagnostic information for them . But thanks anyway. I'll keep searching the web for such information.

Updated this thread with further sites and added some how-to links. Most of the links encompass some basic knowledge of detailing. However some links to have some very detailed info if you are looking for something more in depth.

Also added a disclaimer note
