Cleaning the engine bay

blown98gt · Apr 13, 2009

Ok so I tried using this Manual guy and well it didn't work out too well..

suggestions on products that work best on cleaning up the engine bay... I know most people use simple green and since I've got my Procharger in there I rather not use like a degreaser since it makes aluminum look chalky..

Simple Green. I've also heard good stuff about Pig Spit. Its for motorcycles but its supposed to work good.

Simple Green is not like a lot of other degreasers, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just fine on your aluminum. Maybe try it on an inconspicuous spot first, it doesn't make metal white like royal purple, etc.

Did my entire bay with simple green and a watering hose and a towel left over from drying my car. Looks a lot better.

mine needs more than just simple green lol.. really needs like all the key hoses replaced and all or maybe i'll just throw some amoral or something on them lol but my car bay is super dirty.. here look

of course that is during my install so it is a lot dirtier than normal but still really dirty..

Trust me, get some of the simple green concentrated stuff... sometihng like Simple Green Max? Its got a foaming squirt bottle, and use it as a foam and let it sit for about 10 mins, and soak everything, rinse off and wipe everything then do it again.

I had to mine a few times. 14 years of grime to clean off

sounds good, i'll have to get some when i head back home... but i told you this Man-ual stuff is not any fun lol might be easier to just pay someone lol
