Clean engine bay pics

Here is mine

 

Mine hasn't been like that since Napa gave me the wrong filter for my oil change . 5 quarts of oil sprayed all over your engine bay is a hard fix.

 

You have my utmost respect!! I wish I could keep mine like that but it was kind of a mess when I got it so getting back to something as nice as yours would be difficult.

 

Nice. maybe if I get time I will do my engine bay this summer when the weather is better and its not going to get filthy just driving up and down my gravel driveway

 

I wonder if I could get my hand on a steam cleaner for an hour or so might help.

 

Did you pressure wash it?

How far down/what level of detailing did you do... All the way through everything or just what you can see from the pic?

 

You missed a little

I'm jealous!

 

Hehe my wife leaves me alone too much. Just a garden hose some beers and a rag.

 

I've used a garden hose with sprayer and pressure washed mine too many times to count. When I take the extra 3 mins I'll spray it all down with Silicone tire spray to make it all shiny and new looking. Stupid leaking timing chain cover makes it get dirtier quicker though....

 

I went after mine with tire spray this past summer but it didnt get the deep ground in stuff off of the paint which is why I think a steam cleaner might help for the initial cleaning then just maintenance after that... I think.

 

Steam works great for engine bays. And many small brushes.

 

"

"brushes" yah, I never did try a brush... do you think the steam would break down the rubber hoses and wire insulation and stuff?

 

Nice warm air intake.

 

Not unless you hold in one spot for like 20 minutes.

I clean my engine bay once a year. I just use Simple Green degreaser 50/50 mix. Just spray and rinse. I sometimes use Aerospace 330 after it dries and gives it a nice shine.
