Good stuff and really cleans out a dirty engine quite well.

Yup. Used it in all my medium and heavy duty tow trucks. Had it analyzed periodically and found I could go 10,000 miles between changes with no ill effects.

Tapped off my hood and front grill today. Used the Duplicolor roll on bed-liner. Turned out really nice! I had some deep scratches and fading on my hood. This was a good fix! All I did was scuff up the areas with a scotch brite pad and then tap off. Used a rattle can for the grill in the hard to get spots. Then rolled over it for texture. This is about two coats.
