Try car washes it works best on them, it doesnt work on everything, you have to find certian spots on it also, there is a sweet spot and you move the magnet up and down or sideways.. there is a certian way to do it on each machine you have to fine it out yourself, like i did, useally on car washes you move it side to side by the coin hole or right under the coin hole, and on other **** its like in the middle up and down. Also newpaper stands use somthing that holds the dime or w/e and then lets you turn it and when you turn it it eats the change and wont let you open it again, so you probably have to use the magnet and pull at the same time and find the "sweet" spot on the machine.
but i have to pee right now and then im going to bed so good luck. Hopefully other people will try this and get it to work so it doesnt look like im a lieing sack of ****, ill do a movie one day and post it when i get a chance when im at the car wash. Latta

The safest and most effect way to clean the engine compartment is by using Simple Green and a low pressure water stream. Start off by spraying Simple Green over the entire engine bay, making sure to get into all the tight areas as best as possible. Depending on the year and type of vehicle, you may want to cover certain parts of the motor before cleaning it. Then go ahead and use a scrub brush to help lossen the dirt and grime. After you have let the Simple Green set up for a few minutes, turn the engine ON. Then start to hose of the Simple Green with a low pressure stream of water. If you hear any type of sputter or hesitation from the engine while spraying it off, stop immediatley. After you are done rinsing the motor, use a vacum blower or air compressor to remove water from the engine, mainly electronic parts.

Mayfair,
Thank you for checking out the video, I hope you found it useful. Armor-All is a great product if you want to use it on tires or any other exterior rubber and plastic surfaces. Because Armor-All does contain some silicones, you may have a problem with dirt and grime sticking to the surfaces you have sprayed. Eventually you COULD get enough build up around certain parts of the engine which may cause adverse affects to such things as sensors or electrical components. Another down side to spraying petroleum based products on your engine is that you may get it on surfaces that are not intended for such a product. Side-affects of this may include: discoloration or staining of certain engine components. Armor-All is a good product, but it may not be the best solution for your engine. A product I recommend checking out is called: Adam's In & Out Spray.
Here is direct link to the site: http://www.adamspolishes.com/site/pr...40B6FFCEE98F3B
Adam's In & Out Spray is a non-greasy dressing which can be sprayed on any type of badly faded plastic, rubber or flat painted surfaces. Or in your case, the engine compartment. Since In & Out is non-greasy, you will virtually have no dirt and grime sticking to engine. Adam's In & Out does not contains any type harmful petroleum based chemicals, so there is no potential of hurting your vehicle. In & Out also saves time and allows you to instantly detail hard to reach areas under the hood. In & Out can easily be wiped off any glass or painted surfaces, if accidentally sprayed, leaving no streaks or residue.
