cleaning arches and the engine

[bubbles1986]

I was just wondering what is the best product to use for cleaning arches and engine bays I am using auto glym engine cleaner at the mo but was looking for a change of product does anyone have any idea’s?

there's a very good guide on DW for archs

remove wheels, spray with apc, and snow foam, get a brush, rinse, maybe wax etc after

engine: wrap electric components is cling film/foil, open host and hose down (i dont do this lol), then something like Surfex HD or strong APC, spray on, clean with MF, rinse, engine tickover to dry most, then excess dry with towel

spray hoses etc in 303 to give shine and protection

will find guides in a mo

people have their own methods, and dont think there's an "official" guide

I like Megs Super Degreaser best on arches and engine bay. Spray it on, agitate with a brush, then rinse. Then dress with something like 303 or Megs Hyper Dressing or All Season Dressing
