Engine Cleaning

[MrRx7s3]

Hey guys whats good to wash the actual engine bay mainly the painted ares eg. firewall and the strut tower place thingy lol, mine r34 is white well not anymore pretty much black, I've tried export degreaser and my 2600psi gerni and no luck, would that chemtek stuff work? I've tried just washing it with soap and a microfibre cloth and it just wont budge and I cbf using any compounds to be honest its all so tight, also why isnt it good to wash the heads on the r34? is it because of the coil pack valley or something else that I should be carefull of, thanks.

So do you hose off the motor while its in the car? What about wires and fuses etc????

Certainly. wirings ok so long as you dont pressure blast into electrical goodies. the caustic degreaser doesn't touch most plastics.

yeah so?

or do you think there are not times when using something more mild is not better, for example when you're car is not that dirty and you don't want to remove the sealer and wax as well as the dirt

easy tiger,

I don't wax or seal my car, so there's nothing to strip.
