I've spent a monumental amount of time on the exterior and interior of my car, but somehow I've never touched the engine (aside from changing the oil and such). I figured today would be as good a day as any to get it nice and clean. It was looking pretty rough...
Before I started, I covered everything that I could potentially damage...
It seems that Safe-D-Greaser is the popular engine cleaner around here. Unfortunately, I don't have any of that....yet. So, I did as follows...
- APC+ 10:1, sprayed it on and let it "marinate" for a short bit
- Sprayed it off quickly & thoroughly
- Dried it off with MFs & the leaf blower
- Wiped down everything with a damp MF & APC+
- Hit the plastic with #40
Ta-dah...
I was going to put a coat of A12 cleaner wax on the underside of the hood but was running out of daylight, so that will have to wait.
Thanks for looking. Comments & tips are always welcome.
