Hey all, so I have looked around for a good how to on cleaning out your engine bay, but I cant find one... So if someone could write one up about what products to use etc etc that would be awesome

 

very easy to do..
buy some spray on engine clean 1 can only needed for most bays.[Gunk],
[do it when the engine is relatively cool. & cover the coils with a plastic bag & ]

spray it on,

let it soak for a few minutes,

rinse it off quickly w/water [do not spray directly on valve cover/coils, not too much water.dont drown the engine] ,

dry off excess water with a towel,

start the car let it idle & actually drive it to help speed the drying process.

Done..

 

spray any general all purpose cleaner in engine bay then rinse with pressure washer/garden hose. there is no problem, i do it every day

 

Every day???? I like that!

haha damn i clean mine enough i dont need all purpose cleaner i just use those interior wipes and lvr from turbowax

 

After cleaning you can use a foam away tire cleaner to spray on the hoses, wiring, and all the black stuff to give it a semi gloss clean shine.

lol i really do, i am a recon manager at a dealership.

 

I usually clean my engine bay every other car wash. I pop the hood, lightly spray the entire engine bay with the water hose. Scrub the entire engine bay with a wash mitt and soap, just like you would scrub your car's exterior. Then rinse it off and towel dry it. It looks great. Just be careful not to get your coil packs or fusebox too wet.

 

i clean my engine bay by painting everything

 

show off ^
when i clean my engine bay i spray a degreaser on it then power wash it off and to dry it off i use my air compressor, easiest way!!

 

wow that looks awesome

 

A clean engine is a happy engine?
