Clean Engine Compartment

Just to let you know as well if you go that route, it might smell mildly for a day or two. It's nothing to worry about. It's just the cleaning products and the heat from the engine bay mixing together.

Oh yes, nothing like the smell of mildew while cruising around!

I would hazzard a guess that any engine compartment cleaner will have a residual "chemical smell" for a bit after using it.
When I use Black Magic - if I remember right - it was not noticable the next day. Still, it's not a terrible smell and my "spiced patchuli" Little Tree over powers it fairly quickly.
