Cleaned And Detailed The Engine

[Redog]

Wow the same day Slmz did her's I did mine. It's bit scary that it happened the same :o day but check out the results. :smokin:

I too used paper towels and 120 sandpapaer on the "3400 SFI" :popc1: :thumb: :P

[alerocar01]

Looking good!

[johny_boy32]

It looks like it needs a couple more coats but other than that it looks great. You should think about getting some loom or painting some more pieces to get some more color in the engine bay if thats what your going for.

[-Alero-]

no offence but i dont see how its cleaned, everything seems aged.....by like 10 years

[smlzalero]

Are these the 'before' pics? Yeah, no offense, but either your cleaner didn't work too well or your poop was REALLY dirty.

And who is Slmz?

[-Alero-]

duh everyone knows slmz! psh i cant believe you dont know who slmz is smlz :rolleyes: psh sometimes your such a n00b :P

[FormulaNERD]

[-Alero-]

lol dude you should of just said "hey check out what i did with my UIM"

[Redog]

That and I wiped up all the dirt from under the hood

At least I didn't have to call in help :P

[Oldsman]

^^LMAO

looks like the daily driving has taken it's toll. might want to gunk it down a couple more times to get that hard crap off. another thing that works good is simple green.

[smlzalero]

...................... is it just me or does the 'before' pic look better than the 'after' pics?

trust me you dont need help to touch 7 letters with sandpaper

try using armorall wipes on the hoses and plastics. and just go ape poop with whatever yo ucan reach

and what oldsman said with the simple green

[UnoWHO]

haha Lucky for me, i just got my alero from a dealership like 3 months ago, so the engine bay came Clean as a whsitle...and considering i clean in the engine bay every time i wahs my car...i guess mine is awesome clean lol.

one tip though...if you use a chemical to clean under your hood. DO NOT let it hit the altenator, my friend did that and when he started the car the altenator Caught fire and totally fired lol justa warning

You're right I don't need help sanding 4 numbers and 3 letters. I will go the simple green route but after ASS. It will be about a 12 to 14 hour drive one way. Some of that stuff makes hoses weak, plus I don't have the time right now :o

[Sno]

looks good redog! i gotta get to painting my engine components and running hosing and stuff like that also <_<

armor all doesnt make hoses weak, does it? :huh:

[Redog]

It could, but most likey no.

Anyway not good to do before driving 691 miles, one way.

BTW 31.74 MPG is what I logged yesterday with a fully loaded trunk :thumb:
