Cleaned the engine bay this weekend.....

**Erebus** · 08-18-2008 05:22 AM

Okay, this could have taken all day, so I'll except any **** you want to blow me about the end results. After about 40 mins I was honestly bored with it.

What I used:
Heavy duty industrial grade degreaser
Hose water
Heavy duty scrubber pad
General Cleaner
Wash rag

I would have to remove things to really get a good cleaning on it, but the intake manifold looks 100x better now. It was a VERY dark gray before I started, now it looks like it's metal :lol: The before pictures would have been better if the sun would have been behind the clouds. I'm satisfied with the results for 40 mins worth of work.

Regular cleanings (2-4 months) will maintain the look.

Bill's engine is purdy! I've seen it with my own eyeballs.

Every 2 - 4 months is all it takes.

looks much better! I need to do this...concerned about the electronics and water damage? did you leave the car for a while before starting?

**tarmacsti** · 05-05-2009 02:40 AM

Plastic bag over the alternator and when using the hose try and avoid the electronics... when done I start the car and let it run till the temp needle is as normal... this will evaporate most of the water you cant get to dry up by cloth...
