girth45 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi any recommendations for cleaning and detailing my engine and engine bay, reluctant to jet wash! May never run again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Alot of time, patience and elbow grease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Spray it over with all purpose cleaner or a safe degreaser, agitate with a brush and use a simple hose (no pressure) to swill off the engine bay. Take care with the alternator, coilpacks etc. Just common sense really and a bit of time Post up your results when you've done, always nice to see some before and afters!
