When i first got the car:


Gettin there....


Now:


used lots of degreasers, pressure washer, repainted engine bay, lots of hand scrubbing and polishing, and mothers billet polish is your best friend.

They all look good, so noone hoses the engines off it seems to be the best way wipe it all down with cloth. Thats what Ill do.

Its nice to see that some other people around here care what it looks like under the hood. If there is one thing I cant stand is a dirty engine/bay , it drives me nuts (seriously) Good Job guys
