DIY: 10 minute engine bay detail
As requested, here's the 10 minute engine bay detail DIY
What you'll need: Image0.jpg
The obligatory before pic: Image1.jpg Step 1: Do this on a cool engine - if it's too hot the products applied will dry out too quickly. If you have an exposed aftermarket air filter you should wrap it in a plastic bag to keep the products used and water from getting into it. Spray the engine cleaner everywhere in the engine bay. Don't be shy with this stuff, and make sure you get it into all of the nooks and crannies. For a single detail I normally end up using about 250ml (8.5 fl oz) of the stuff. Step 2: Leave the engine cleaner to sink in for a couple of minutes, then hose it all off using normal garden hose pressure water. Be thorough. There's really nothing you need to concerned about when wetting in this engine, so long as you're using normal mains water pressure.

Spray a little of your shine product onto the rag to help cover up any spots you might have missed. There's no need to get into every little nook and crannie here - just thin out the bulk of the product so you don't end up with blotches. Image4.jpg That's it, now sit back for another few minutes as the rest of the shine product dries off. Viola! Told you guys it was easy Here's a few after pics: Image5.jpg Image6.jpg Image7.jpg Last edited by Razr; 03-31-2007 at 01:05 AM. |
