Cleaning under the hood...
What kinds of stuff do you guys use when cleaning the engine up. Mine's getting pretty dirty and wanted to know what you guys usually do and use to keep your's lookin' good.

I get some degreser I usually get a spray bottle with an engine on it, its an orange and white bottle, cant remember what ther name of it is but you can get it at any auto store. well any way i spray the whole bottle on the engine wait 20 minutes and spray it off with a hose, then i armour all it all. works great and looks awesome

Gunk Engine brite/degreaser! Works great.
I got some stuff that works better than anything you can find at the stores.....I get it from work. It's some industrial cleaner/degreaser, we get in in 100gal tanks. I spray it on the insides of my rims where all the brake dust is and wash it off with water and it's like new again, same with the engine. This stuff is soo potent you've gotta delut it with water prior to using, otherwise it will eat through almost any spray bottle!! |
Whatever you use, dont use a power washer and use as little water as possible. Dry it off fast using a leaf blower.

I used Black Magic's Engine Degreaser. Worked very well and it was a LARGE spray foam can. It cleaned well but isn't a "shine" product at all. For that i used "All Around" from work. Basically a spray bottle similar to armor all. I just sprayed that all in the engine bay.

heres a few pics of before, during the process and the results! in person it's 10x better then before!
I didnt delut the mixture very much, one part of the engine bay was soo nasty will oil and grease buildup i just sprayed the cleaner raw on it. The rest was mixed 1 part cleaner/5 parts water. This stuff it pretty crucial. |

I didn't realize my dad had some of that Gunk brand cleaner so I used that and that baby is sparklin'. I'd take pics but I have no idea where the digital is at.

only because it was allowed to get that dirty. i would never let my engine look like that lol |
for you guys who plan to use industrial strength degreaser... be carefull using that. I stained my throttle body/plenum using "DC-99". We get it by the drums and i figured Ill use that... lol. It stains paint if left on too long as well. you guys are better off using an actual engine degreaser which isnt as harsh.
