You say you use Ultra-Cote 2. Why this instead of Ultra-Cote? Is there a difference other than the aroma (pina colada vice new car)?

The Ultra-Cote-anythings are a bit difficult to buy in small quantities. I know Todd uses #2 (and embarrasses all the rest of us) for engine-compartment detailing and he recommends letting it soak in for 4 days before removing. After doing some research and chatting with Todd, I decided to try 303 Aerospace Protectant for this application. See a discussion at:

See 303's recommendation for engine-compartment detailing at:

Then again, if you're buying it for the smell, 303 isn't rated highly for smell (then again, I haven't smelled my engine-compartment lately).

I would like to go with the Protect-All as it would be fairly easy to get for me (at local Wal-Mart 5 miles from home). It appears Todd uses the Ultra-Cote 2 on everything except maybe the body itself. Can Protect-All be used like this ("across the board")? Is it good for the rubber hoses, etc. Can it be used on the interior or should I go with a leather cleaner and conditioner?

We have a Camping World over in Kissimmee (30 minutes away) and I could get 303 Aerospace Protectant. Can this be used on other parts other than the engine?

Hope these questions aren't too stupid!

Thanks in advance for all your assitance.
