I got my CD2 kit at my local Target store on clearance!!! Just be careful when you spray the cleaner and detailer on to not get any of it on your paint or plastic cowl. Spots will form and it's a PITA to get them off. The results are excellent and the engine still shines after 1 month! All of the hoses look great and it supposedly conditions them to prevent cracking. Not sure about that, but they definetly look great!
On a similar tangent, I didn't cover anything with plastic. I just kept the car running while I hosed the engine off. We don't have a distributor cap to worry about since all Contours have a distributorless ignition system. Just don't saturate the alternator or battery terminals and you should be OK. Just follow the directions and you should get excellent results!
