Detailing Engine.

[Roaminggnome4]

Im planning on Detailing my engine this weekend. Can people tell me what all I need to cover with plastic before I risk hosing it down after I degrease it, and some good products for degreasing, and then engine detailing, etc...........

lmk

Ive heard Simple Green is good........

Thanks.

im pretty sure u can just shoot it whereever you want without risk, with the exception of the warm air intake, if you have that obviously put a bag over the filter, otherwise, have a hayday

just leave the car running when you spray it and just mist the engine no direct hard pressure

[derek_ski99]

use a white wall tire cleaner (acid-based)...thats what we use when we detail. like oldsman said just mist it unless theres a bunch of grease in one area. and leave it running.

ps.. simple green is crap and wont do a very good job

[Oldsman]

i always use engine gunk. works great.

:gun: use tire wet, in the foam spray can. just dowse the engine compartment, come back in a few min. then wipe it down. than repeat for prefered clenslenes :gun:

I just use the high pressure soap at the car wash, keep away from the obvious - Hot manifolds and spark plug wires. when I had old cars I would keep it running and always have some wd40 incase it won't start. Now I have a newer one and I know how to keep it in good shape, I don't let it run any more.

Yeah I leave mine off when cleaning, don't see the point in running it during spraying besides faster drying time.

will it not start after if you shut it off,or what's the point.is it just to get it to dry faster?

If you want a good finishing product, hyper dressing from meguiars is awesome, you buy it and then dilute it in a spray bottle, leaves a nice natural shine all the way up through a wet stain depending on how much you dilute it, thats what i use whenever i do mine. Go Meguiars!

Peace
