    This has got to be the cheapest and easiest way to clean engine bay. I buy my chemicals from the supplier eliminates two levels of markups in prices plus any problems I can talk directly to the man.

    So it begins by using a cheap pump up sprayer and a degreaser mixed as you wish.
    Label says 10 to 1 but for heavier jobs you can go hotter. The finishing chemical after a rinse is simply a vinyl and rubber dressing which will last for several months normal driving. You can also dial in the shine depends on how you mix, know your chemicals. That’s it degreaser, dwell time about 3-5 minutes on warm not hot engine followed by a clear rinse. While engine is still wet Follow this with the Blue Sapphire just a light spray and close the hood. That’s it you don’t touch or wipe anything. Pics are good but it really looks good in person. This was taught to me by an old detail man
