Clean Engine Bay What and or how are you guys using to clean your engine bays & make them look so pristine? I am scared to death to hose it down because of all the electronics. So can anyone give up some secrets?.....Thanks in advance.

i promise you it will be fine housing it down. jeeps and just about all cars can go completely under water if they have a snorkel lol. simple green is good, and armor-all for plastic is great for all the plastic parts. and just about any degreaser is great as well
I use Adams all purpose cleaner and dress it with Adams in and out spray and svrt....you don't wanna use a lot of pressure when u hose it off and don't soak the **** out of it and you will be fine....I would cover open cone intakes as well....if u look at my detailing thread on here you can see some nice before and afters

don't use simple green... it will screw up/eat at your paint if you get it on it...

At the detailing shop I worked at we used a degreaser, then power washed it off, then used an air house to dry, and drenched it in silicon.

Their is still dirt residue on the engines, camaro has it towards the back for one, then they still have crap build up on the grand prix washer fluid container that comes off pretty easily.
But it does look really good, how do you do it?

Try 2 use pressure washer instead of a water hose....less water flowing with a pressure washer,
I'm sure nothing will happen but just w be on the safe side..all I use is purple degreaser then just any foam tire wet stuff!! Had this motor like this for 3 weeks n I live n dirt roads ..
