Engine Bay Friday
My mobile carwash guy just made my engine bay look nearly cleaner than the day I bought it --for only $35.
I'm stoked on it. |

It's cleaner than my '17s engine bay. Very nice!

A frequently overlooked part of a good detailing job. That looks GREAT! You should be stoked. I usually do my engine bay a couple times a year. Despite many warnings about water entering sensitive electronics etc, I have yet to cover anything before degreasing and rinsing with water. After air drying, sometimes I'll mix up some detailer (Mothers, Armorall etc) with water in a spray bottle and mist everything. Then take an old MF towel and wipe. Makes the engine compartment look like new. I tend to go over board - partially because I like working on cars - and have been known to removed clamps, battery retaining hardware etc, degrease and repaint bits and pieces. In fact, since I was painting my new drums anyway, I removed the 4 rusty screws that hole the engine cover on, popped them in some phosphoric acid for a bit, rinsed them, dried them off and sprayed them. Also did the battery retaining long bolt. I hate corrosion ANYWHERE!
