are you serious,ive never thought of that.you know i bet it would work,**** im gonna try it tomorrow.

 

I like Mothers Back to Black. 41,000 miles.

 

how do you keep the rest of the nooks and crannies in there clean though.

 

This is my method. I do not necessarily recommend that anyone use this method:

1. Rinse engine bay and underside of hood with a fine spray of water.


2. Prepare a spray bottle of 50 Mr. Clean/50 water.

3. Spray underside of hood and engine bay. Let sit for 10 minutes.






4. Agitate dirty areas with a assortment of brushes.






5. Rinse with fine water mist.


6. Dry with leaf blower.


7. Apply dressing to damp cloth, then wipe plastic engine bay parts.

Strange enough, the president of my car club suggests that you get the motor temp up, spray everything insight with armor all, I used eagle one tire dressing, close the hood and let run for 20 min.
The heat makes the plastics really porus and it soaks in. After 20 min, turn car off and wipe down excess.
I really didn't think it'd work either, but it works great, trust me

 

You willingly let your engine idle for 20 min?

 

Absolutely, why not?

 

its like sitting in traffic. we all do it every day.

 

As long as you coolant temp and EGT's don't go sky high there is no problem with idleing the car for that long.

 

davidv...looks great

 

Davidv FTW!!!

 

Wow I'm kind of getting sick of seeing that string of pictures of your clean engine bay showing up in pretty much every thread in the cleaning and detailing forum.

 

I use a product called Trim Shine. Much better than Armor All or tire shine products as it doesn't collect sooo much dirt and grime to the parts. It also lasts a long time.

Well I don't expect to be loved by everyone.
