Cleaning my engine bay
 

My engine bay is pretty dirty, so i think its time i clean it.

Prettu much going to cover some vital parts, and spray it down with an all purpose degreaser or cleaner, and hose it on down.

I'll have some before and after pics for you guys.

Nice,

Look forward to seeing :)

I need to do that. My engine is pretty clean, but I want to keep it that way, lol.

I'll be doing this in the spring...

Make sure to cover your alternator... I usually just use a plastic shopping bag.

Not sparkling clean, but better than before. I ended up covering the alternator, battery, and distributor just to be safe. I also used spic n span cleaner because thats all i had. Im going to go buy some purple power and go at it again some time next week.

Not bad. Hey, off topic but is it raining up there, yet?

Looks like its going to, its been overcast, and its getting windy, so it should be here soon.

I went down to the junk yard and I could barely walk it was so windy, lol.
But nice job, the computer looks real clean after that, too.

Just my 2c but if ya spray the compartment with a little tire shine stuff itll look more pretty :)

grab some Easy-Off oven cleaner instead. it works great (even better IMO) & costs less than those degreasers you can by.

besides that, you can get a nice varity of scents. :icon_wink:



and it'll look like it should be on a used car lot. :icon_razz:

besides, that stuff really isn't the greatest thing for a DD, it tends to attract all the dust/dirt that gets sucked up into your engine bay.


can you imagine the mess while playing in the dirt while off-roading? :icon_doh:
