I fast dry cleaned the engine today
I opened the hood the other day and I saw the engine was pretty dirty. It’s funny how much a brush and a vacuum cleaner can do in just 10 mins. I will do it more often from now on.

You did that with a brush and vacuum? I'm impressed.

Yep. I used the brush to detach all the dust from the engine components and then used the vacuum to take them out. (Much thanks to chrisFX’s YouTube video for the idea) I used soap only, to clean the engine cover Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I can see a bottle on the first picture. I assume that is some sort of detergent you used to polish the plastic "VVTi" cover?
Nice work though! |

Yes I used it only for the cover. It’s just a dish soap. I am not a fan of polish as they get sticky over time and they capture more dust in the end. Thank you mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by miiser; 01-06-2018 at 06:39 PM. |
