Cleaned engine

So my day started of crappy and well ended crappy

I started mowing and my rider decided it wanted to stay put up. The tire came off the rim. I said must be a sign the truck needs cleaned. so 5hrs later waxed and nice and ready for pictures but.......

I was gonna take it to my fav. spot but they were closing


My tools to clean

Green Works just like simple green great on tires also

Check autozone again. The one by my house has it again therefore the others should have it too. If not, they can get it for you and you won't have to pay the shipping. That would be good customer service.
