Cleaning Engine Bay

[ARTZ]

hey i used to work at a car wash the stuff we use is like 10X stronger than that crap they sell at auto barn try find somewhere where they sell proper products this shit actually makes u choke if you breath it in it gets rid of grease and oils etc sick stuff man i did my engine bay on the GT-R had no problems man there nothing wrong with giving it a high pressure just don't stand to close its not like they were designed not to get water on them they are cars anything that is not meant to touch water is hidden or protected except pods of cores but other than that spray it and get a rag dry it all get another rag clean one! and armaroll and go over it all clean the pipes with it and will come up mint man.

+1 this guy, nothing wrong with hosing down your bay, cars can drive in 2 foots deep water so obviously the engine doesnt mind getting wet.

Do try not to oversoak electricals or your coilpack cover and you shuldnt have any worries. If you use a decent degreaser or wash it will do most of the cleaning work anyway then you are really just rinsing it off..

Be careful when using de-greasers on you car.

Some attack aluminum and leave white spots, especially on polished aluminum, like the car wash 'engine and wheel cleaner' selection.

The supercheap de-greaser in a can that I love to use attacks and breaks down rubber o rings, rubbers gaskets etc, but cleans crap away off metal, plastic etc really well.

To stop it from breaking down rubber parts, always rinse off with water straight away.

Well theres something i didnt know, damnit my cars sitting out there soaking in 1$autobahn degreaser cans now and i cant hose it cause its in bits...

What I usually do use though is just truck wash, I spray it on,in and under my vehicle and let it soak overnight then hose at carwash the next day..
