  • What should I protect before detailing engine


  • #2
    I'd say the alternator, plug wires, cap under the intake hose, and keep water minimized around the black box by the master cylinder. That's just me though, extra cautious. I'm interested in what others say.

    What are you going to use to cover anything with? Foil, plastic...

    Good luck.

      I think plastic would work better. What do you think would?

        I've tried both and found aluminum foil to be much easier to use than plastic. You just wrap the foil around things and it stays there with no fuss.

        Just don't short out your battery.

          If you have an air compressor, you may want to use it to blow water out of all of the nooks and crannies after you have finished cleaning. You definitely don't want and standing water after you are done.
