Clean engine
Hi All
What do you guys use to improve appearance of engine and bay area,
Is it save to use back to black or similar on hoses etc?
My engine is potless at the moment so would it be easier to spend 10 mins
every week cleaning dust/road muck etc from it , or do it less frequantly.
Thanks in advance

Well mines in bits every other week and out of the car so its pretty easier
to put a rag over it then.

Why do you want to keep it so clean ?
Only reasons I can think of are :
You're selling it. (my dad thinks a clean battery is a good one, etc)
You're going to work on the engine.
You're one of these strange people who take their cars to shows.
(walked through some Mini show at Worthing the other week with lots of
cars with their bonnets proudly up ).

frequantly.
Why not just power wash it? - £5 from a garage!

Re: Clean engine
Spray the entire underbonnett area with a good degreaser leave for 15 mins
or so then power wash the lot off. Can be a good idea to keep the engine
running whilst you are doing it. Brings everything up great!
