An Engine Detail

[Mad iX]

Toyota Echo.
I would've used a Meg's degreaser and Hyper Dressing but those products aren't available here.
Rinsed initially with hose and attachment on 'shower' setting. Applied Autoglym engine/machine cleaner, scrubbed with a brush and rinsed off well. Dried off, then applied GC Trim Detailer.
I'm no engine detailing expert but this was quite straight-forward.

YES!

All these great engine detail posts inspire me to give it a try. Thanks.

Way to go. If you are one of the lucky ones that has a water sealed engine bay than it is extremely strait forward. Engine bay looks great

[Chris Nemlich]

Great work. That engine bay looks cleaner than ones that come straight off the dealership lot!

Nice job!

I just detaled mine and my wifes engine for the first time this weekend. I was a little scared to get all that water in the engine and not be able to get it started again. All I used was some simple green and a brush. My engine had never been cleaned in 5 years and my wifes in 3 years. I had them both looking pretty clean in less than 1 hour. To be safe I started both cars imediatly after rinceing them off and both engines started right up with no problems. I wish I had done this sooner.

On a side note my engine seems to be running a little cooler now
