I wouldn't exactly recommend cleaning a filthy engine bay with CD-2.
I would recommend cleaning it with Simple Green Automotive. works like a charm.
THEN CD-2 it.
CD2 seems to work more like a show car shine/polish instead of a degreaser.
Did you actually use the product or are you going by what you heard? The reason I ask is that your information is totally wrong. The CD-2 kit is all that is need for cleaning your engine properly. The kit includes a very strong degreaser that will clean any engine.
Next time come correct with the facts before you spew information that is incorrect. In regards to the wheels. I would use any car wash shampoo like Mothers, Meguairs Gold Class, etc.
