I envy how clean it is under your bonnet. what to you use to clean you engine bay? normal body shampoo conditioner? special stuff?

 

[sambryant]

damp microfibre cloth, and a bit of aqua wax

 

[itfben]

that it? needs cleaning first? lol

 

[sambryant]

i never really need to do much as its always kept up together. the first thing i did when i bought the car was to gunk the engine bay, since then i just keep on top of it once a week

 

[itfben]

mine needs that first gunking what did you do first?

 

[sambryant]

i covered the whole bay with gunk. left it 30mins then lightly rinsed it off. then i started with the aqua wax and bumper care for the hoses and black plastic.
now on a sunday i spend 20mins tops on the bay

 

[itfben]

What did you do with coilpack and other sensors? Have you covered them with something?

My engine bay looks absolutely disguisting (boost leaks + leaky rocker cover gasket doesnt help - now both issues sorted). I really wan to get it clean and shiny ^^

Love it. My engine bay gets a little clean now and then with that aqua wax. But I need to do it more after seeing your pics.

Keep up the good work!

Yes forgot to say, cover up electrics with plastic bags, then clean electrics with gunk on a cloth. The electrics should be fine when getting a little wet, we still drive our cars in the rain

Sam have you got any g/s readings on that cold air feed to the filter setup?

I'd be interested in doing something similar rather than run the cold feed down towards the common fog route.

i wanna clean my bay too but knowing my luck i'd probably mess the electrics up so am gonna leave it the way nature intended!

 

[banna-man]
