I didn't go too crazy, but still thought it was a cool pic to post. My car is a little over 3 years old. I like to keep it looking like new. Only took about 15 minutes with Simply Green.
It's amazing how the oil change guys treat it extra special because they are afraid to dirty it up. LOL.

Cleaned my engine by hand recently...

Nice.
Anyone else having the issue of the silver paint coming off from the engine cover's "SUZUKI" lettering? Mine is flaking off rather easily even from a gentle wipe with a terry cloth. Not a big deal but not really aesthetically pleasing either.

Yep! I figure when it gets bad enough, I'll pull the cover and fix it myself. The letters are raised so it shouldn't be too hard to hand paint with something a bit more durable. Even for a shaky-handed guy like me
'12 Kizashi,'03 SV650,'04 DL1000
Make that 3 on the letters. 
Our "S" has a big gash looking chunk out of it.
Just out of curiosity, I checked to see if it was rubbing against anything, but nada. Must just be the heat/cold cycling.
