Doc.....did some checking and found out the Autozone by me carries it. Their website calls it CD-2, but shows a pic of a can of 'Black Magic Engine Shine'. I called, and he said the cans they carry are just like the pic you posted, not the one on their website. He said they've had it for over a year....$4.99/can.

OK, so I was able to get some from the local Autozone, and wow this stuff works great. I think I got a little on my manifold because after driving it around a little it was smoking some. Freaked out some, but smoke went away and all is well. Great stuff! Thanks

So how does it work? Spray it on and wipe it clean?

All I did was, sprayed simple green all over the engine bay and let it sit for about 5 minutes or so. After I rinsed it off and then let it air dry for about a hour in the sun. After that you just spray the CD-2 engine detailer and leave hood open for 20 minutes, then drive around. I had no need to wipe it.

Purple Power works great to clean before using the detailer. Pics below are obviously not of my H3, but another project I did recently.
