Wow been a while since I've been on. That is a wicked build you've got in there these days.

Yea I cut it 50/50 or 40/60 PP to water and only let it sit for a few min. Once I finish this thing of Purple Power Im going to probably start using Simple green but Ive had great success with Purple Power. I always wet down my fenders before I even start to use it as like you said it will discolor paint.

That's my suggestion.

Simple Green here also. I'v used it on the Brit cars and Harley with no ill effects. I dilute it 50/50 and kep it in a bug sprayer. It works and smells like the stuff they sell at the Harley dealer for HD $$$$
