Since it was mild weather all weekend................

 

It's beautiful.

 

Excuse me while I make my way to the bathroom..

Absolutely beautiful man. I'm drooling over that.

 

beautiful. I wish I had the patience for that, I love me a good clean engine bay. but like you said it never lasts

 

Damn that looks nice. What ya use to clean it?

 

Thanks guys!


I use this cheap 2-gallon sprayer from Ace Hardware.

Using a trigger-spray-bottle gets tiring pretty quick.





I use a 50/50 mixture of "Purple Power" and Water.
Spray it on, and let it sit for a few minutes.
Then use my pressure-washer to blast all the grime off........Keeping the high pressure spray away from sensitive areas.


Then let it dry. (I just drive the vehicle normal for a day. The engine heat dries everything pretty quickly)


They make a product called "Engine Detailing Spray"
But I simply use Armor-All Tire Foam.
I spray any painted, plastic, or rubber items (I try to keep away from the belt)
And let it sit for awhile.............Then go back in and wipe everything down.
(I missed a few spots)


Believe it or not, this is the first time I have taken the time to clean the engine bay of this '96 since I've owned it..........
