are we talking small gains (i.e. 1-10hp), medium gains (10-20hp), or big gains (21+hp)? Also if I wash the fob multiple times does it stack?

I give my Fob a routine Wash, clay bar, wax, and polish. Then I put some armor all to top things off.

FYI, dry clean the FOB will increase the friction between the cylinders and engine block.

DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL-CLEARNER ON-SITE.
