Great video and perfect timing, Chuck! I was just looking at my engine bay yesterday and wondered how I was going to clean it! Thanks!

@backyardchevy328 6 лет назад

I always cover alternators and fuse boxes to be safe cause if fuse box is cracked or lets water through somehow that could cause tons of damage

@shatherley68 6 лет назад

Chuck, like others, I was trying to find the right product to dress up my engine bay, and you are right on! This stuff made my '16 Z51 engine bay look factory fresh!

@bobcohen629 6 лет назад

Thanks Rick again I really enjoyed you sharing all this with us

@MonsieurLeRobot 6 лет назад

Chuck...No need for me to think further what to do this weekend ! Thank you for this great, super-detailed video. Have a blessed weekend too, Buddy !

@corvettelife2104 6 лет назад

Chuck great content as always in fact my car is still dirty from Corvette Invasion. I will definitely be ordering that meguiars product to get my engine in shape. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos it is greatly appreciated. Wish you the best of luck on the meet up!!! Thanks for sharing my ride with everyone on your channel. Already a month since the meet up in Texas can’t wait for further meet ups and locations may make a special trip out there!!

@thevettboy 6 лет назад

Always great information. I learn a lot from you and our buddy My Corvette Life. I can now put some of this information you guys provide to good use on my recent purchase of a 2002 Torch Red C5 Z06. Back in the Corvette Lifestyle -- YES.

@bobbymy3vettes415 6 лет назад

Hey Chuckles! Nice job on the cleaning video. Nice to hear about the Meguiars product. That's all I have used since the mid 80's on all my vehicles. Awesome products!!! Stay safe my friend!👍😎🏁

@ramsam8989 6 лет назад

Great video and information. I just used the ceramic coating that you used great product easy to use and has great results. Thanks for all the tips you give us. Can’t wait to clean my engine this weekend.

@larrydawes8765 6 лет назад

@robertjakicic5878 6 лет назад

Great information Chuck, I really like to keep my engine Bay looking like new,and I always use Maguire's products. I look into this product.

@ivanmarrero28 6 лет назад

Awesome product I don't have to use my hands and getting them scrape up Thanks for the info.

@Sprocketboy1956 6 лет назад

When I got my Corvette I went online to see how people cleaned their engines and was surprised how easy it is now. I recall when I had the engine shampooed on my 1981 280ZX Turbo it was unhappy for a day or so until the water had all cleared out. I have had no similar problem with my Corvette in three years but I am impressed with how well the Hyper Dressing seems to work since it looks like a lot less work than what I go through normally. I do have a number of stainless steel trim parts under the hood and have a special cleaner for those. I am not sure what effect the Hyper Dressing would have on them but I guess I would wipe it off and then clean the stainless steel separately. I see that if I order Hyper Dressing through Amazon here in Canada it will cost me C$100/gallon. Nothing too good for our cars, right? Good video, Chuck!

@century21award 6 лет назад

Very informative, I learn something new from your vids every time! Thanks for the links to your stuff, I did order your recommended ceramic package from Esoteric - applied myself, came out super nice and it was easy, however very labor intensive lol but worth it!!!

@steves.922 6 лет назад

Great job on video as always my friend. Have a safe trip to KC!

@ronnieowenssr.1419 6 лет назад

Good job Chuck I learn a lot from your brother thank ya

@jbroyles5227 6 лет назад

Thanks....very helpful as I had never used this product and I was unsure as to whether to go under the hood with water.

@mclarenjohnf1 6 лет назад

For those that are worried about the Alternator and things you need to take in to account as said Chuck has said leave the car so by the time you are starting it everything has had time to dry. Also think this way what happens when you take your car in for a presale valet they steam clean the engine steam is water the heat just helps melt the grease.

@stumcpeak982 6 лет назад

love these videos!!!

@astrotwo Год назад

Awesome video, thanks. I'll give this a try on my '14 Z51

@05milmachine90 6 лет назад

I like the water based hyper dressing. You are correct that it can take 24 hours to level out nicely. When I do engine bays for customers I tend to use Stoners trim shine in aerosol cans (parts stores have it in stock). Instant finish with instant leveling that dries to the touch fast. It also lasts longer as it isn't a water base. Just another option if you are cleaning up right before a show and can't afford to wait.

@ridesbyrod61 6 лет назад

Great tip Chuck...i didn't know that about the washing of the engine ..i was of the thought about not to wash engine because of all the electronics...thanks for the info.

@myboy051 5 лет назад

I always blow the water out then put the dressing on after doing so .

@Brad_James 6 лет назад

Looks very awesome Chuck, thanks for the tip I will have to try some of that!!!

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎

@johnsimpson9781 6 лет назад

Looks like good stuff chuck, I'll have to look into that. That would take my engine bay over the top with the painted parts i have. I gotta get a master blaster too! 😁

@martysponz3953 6 лет назад

@mikeflear5431 6 лет назад

Hey Chuck, l was planning to wash he hot rod tomorrow morning but I'll have to pick up some of that Hyper Dressing first. Funny I subscribe to all the same videos. I'm thinking of doing a road trip to check out Esoteric, that garage Todd has looks amazing! Have a blessed week my friend

@HorsePowerObsessed 6 лет назад

Well done! Always good information.

@bsterling9 6 лет назад

Hey Chuck, thanks for showing my 19 Grand Sport (Capt America). Good information on the engine bay cleaner too. I will give it a try. I am getting ready to launch my own channel here in Charleston SC and I will be sure to promote your channel. I will let you know when it is live. Thanks again! God Bless.

I found a black widow just under my 2004 Corvette right headlight great video 👍

@speed4tu 6 лет назад

Gonna have to order some of this stuff!

@ksamrow1 4 года назад

I have a C5 2003 purchased in 2002. I always have used 1/4 cup of dawn dish washing detergent in a one quart spray bottle topped off with clean water. Spray it all over the engine bay including alternator and battery. Let it soak for 15 - 20 minutes and rinse off with water. I have 140k miles and have never had any issues. Clean and cheep. Try it...

@snakeskinner2 6 лет назад

It's going to be a great meet up here in KC! Hope everyone can make it out! Great video as always chuck😉

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

It’s going to be a blast 👍🏻😎

@mikecollins6840 6 лет назад

I like to use some simple green before power washing....the simple green works as a brightner on aluminum.

@randyrhodes7526 6 лет назад

Guess it is time to clean my engine bay, as always big thumbs up !

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

She needs a little freshening up and Maguires hyper dressing does just the trick. I appreciate you Randy have a great weekend. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@ordovicicosilurico6799 Год назад

Great video bro , just wondering if you got any tip to clean our C6 radiator , cause the space is so reduced that i cannot fit my hand inside to clean it very well and i dont want to use pressure washer cause im fear to bend the fins of the radiator, any tip there bro ?

@randycorreia349 6 лет назад

May I ask you what is your thoughts about cleaning the radiator? Mines a 6 speed so only 2 deep. On my farm we blow the radiator & filters everyday. On tractors I don’t have a water source so we clean only with air. My fear is with water that it might plug the vents worse.

@ozzstars_cars 6 лет назад

First and not last Corvette lover!

@jerryblum7098 6 лет назад

Hey Chuck, just a quick question for the Professor. When you are spraying the engine compartment with the Hyper Dressing, are you staying away from the serpentine belt and for those who might have extra belts for root system super chargers? Just wondering about slippage on those belts. Or does it not affect them?

@marksix638 5 лет назад

Chuck Miss you guy!! I subbed to your truck channel hope everything is gonna go ok!!

@curtisfish7984 6 лет назад

Hey Chuck, thanks for this Video! My Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing arrived and I could not find my notes on the ratio for glossy vs mat finish. Thanks for sharing!

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

It’s a great product and does a great job. 👍🏻😎

@joedurand1168 6 лет назад

I have been hoping you would down load one all day. Thanks

@michaels3897 6 лет назад

Still a few areas under hood I would protect--especially with using a high pressure water flow. "Weather tight" doesn't include anything other than rain or splashes. Nice results, though.

@bigd9848 6 лет назад

Nice 👍🏻 video Thanks 😎

@okietc1889 6 лет назад

I saw this car a couple years ago at cars and coffee in Oklahoma. I’ve been trying to find it ever since.

@Zr1pete_ 6 лет назад

Beautiful Gs😍😍

@mikelee0072 2 года назад

what's the name of the product you used on the engine bay?

@ericgraymercedesbenzofeast2144 5 лет назад

Todd at Esoteric Is in in Ohio where I live. He lives right down the road from me. His shop is amazing!

@YeeeewHawwwww 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@kevinliewer8676 Год назад

Agree with most of this. However, you shouldn't use a pressure washer in electric sensitivitie areas. You'd be surprised to find out how pressurized water finds its way into these sensitive areas. You can clean your engine bay with low pressure and obtain the same results. Just something to consider. Beautiful cars sir. Great product. Thanks for introducing this to us.

@gmoney9961 6 лет назад

Chuck...guess you'll be driving ALL night to make it to Corvettes at Corsa Sunday morning! Don't forget, registration begins at 9:30AM. I'll have some Dunkin' coffee (black with 2 Turbo Shots if I remember correctly) and a Sausage Egg McMuffin there for you. Me and the folks from Corvette Cleveland look forward to seeing you!

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

How I wish I had about a week to just travel the midwest and visit. Would have them put some Crosa Extreams on the ZR1. While you are there if you fund some part numbers for the ZR1 send me an e-mail. X-Pipes and the extremes with black tips. 👍😎 I am sure the same ones I put on the Z06 would work on the ZR1 but not for sure. You guys have a great time and say hi to Rick for me.

@stoneywilliams1209 4 года назад

what about the hood liner Chuck???

@paulm6481 6 лет назад

Beautiful- great job. Still scares me to clean the engine bay though

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

No hesitations for me at all. Been doing it too long now. Just let everything dry and zero issues

@kalani1987 4 года назад

I would first spray it down, then do the leaf blower, and finish with the Meguiars

@andrewboswell2751 6 лет назад

What is the name and artist of the song u play at the end of all your videos?

@gmbrooks456 5 лет назад

I'm new to your channel....may I ask what you do for a living? I wanna be like you when I grow up.😁

@brodylechman1195 6 лет назад

Super bummed out I'm gonna miss the next meet. I'm loaning the Vette to my Dad so he can Cruz to a wedding in style😎🇺🇸. Maybe I'll make 1 more before winter!

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

Next one will be in Tx next year. 👍🏻😎

@ricktokle5848 6 лет назад

😎🇺🇸Hey Buddy👍Looks Great good job 👏✌🏻🤙🏻

@jeffnowicki4059 6 лет назад

Hey Chuck... thanks for another great informational video. One area I struggle with is keeping my front end clean... nasty baked on bug guts, etc. Would like to hear how you deal with that and what techniques/products you use.

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

That’s why I have a ceramic coating. The bugs don’t stick they just wipe off with soap and water.

@Sprocketboy1956 6 лет назад

I have the Xpel plastic coating on my car for this particular reason (front up to door leading edges, and mirrors). Bugs come off easily with warm water and soap, although I carry waterless wash with me when travelling and do the front when I am done for the day. The faster you get the bug debris off, the better!

@jeffnowicki4059 6 лет назад

Leslie Reissner I too have xpel (and agree with everything you said)

@bdeale3314 6 лет назад

Nice vid Chuck. I noticed Matt using this on his Dad's Subaru. My question is....does this stuff leave a wet or oily surface that becomes a magnet for dust and dirt? Not the end of the world....I'd just clean it again....but this would be a detractor if it means that I need to increase the frequency of my engine bay detailing. The next product you're going to "use" from Matt is "Bead Maker". I'm sure it'll be in an upcoming video. I've been a Meguiar's 156 guy.....but I'm now on-board with the Bead Maker. I think you'll be sold on this too. Thanks for all of your content.

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

I already tried bead maker the developer sent it to me. Not something you use in a coated car but works great on normal paint or wax. That’s what I love about the hyper dressing is that it looks great and isn’t a all oily. It’s water based so dry to the touch after it dries.

@bdeale3314 6 лет назад

Thanks for the quick reply Chuck. I forgot that your cars are coated....good call.

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

They say it works on coatings but Todd with esoteric said he didn’t recommend it in the Gyeon product. I did test it and it’s a great product and smells amazing. Plan on testing it further on the GS

@julzzcan9490 6 лет назад

Aerospace 303 works too!

@raylopez3195 6 лет назад

FYI I like to do mine with the oil cap open 😁

@generallee3186 6 лет назад

Chuck another Great VLOG!! I have a not so smart question for you with using the Hyper Dressing: Do you have to get your engine bay wet before you apply the Dressing?? I only ask because my engine bay is clean already, but I definitely want that Shine!! Thanks!

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

You don’t have to get it wet but it helps the product level out if it’s wet.

@generallee3186 6 лет назад

Corvettes 918 Thanks Brother! I guess a little water won't hurt it LOL!! Thanks. Are you guys going to Corvettes of Carlisle???

@n4aride480 6 лет назад

Dang, Rinse and then spray it and let sit. Heck even my wife can do that lol... I will have to pick some of that up. When u mix a 1to1 ratio.. do u use deionized water for that? See you Saturday in Shawnee.

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

I used distilled water 👍🏻😎

@rpm9460 6 лет назад

Hey brother.......Is the 06 LS2 engine bay sealed up as well as the newer cars? I want to clean mine. It looks great!!

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

I would say any car made in the last 10 years is pretty much sealed up. You are on the bubble. I think you would be fine covering up the fuse box 👍😎

@rpm9460 6 лет назад

Corvettes 918 Thanks Chuck......It came out beautiful

@backyardchevy328 6 лет назад

what are ur thoughts on the yenko corvette?

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

It’s a cool idea but heck to me 755HP is more than I will ever use. 1000hp will be cool for the strip but can’t use it anywhere else.

@christianbeevers4937 6 лет назад

Backyard Chevy the Yenko is unreal at 1000hp the ZR1 is awesome at 755hp but if I’m just going to use one for every day i think i would listen to chuck on the grand sport. Great horse power to have fun around town without the battling the high horse power. But any corvette as an awesome corvette!

@albertcooper631 6 лет назад

Nice vlog Chuck glad to see ur wifes Grand Sport. It really looks great. Hv fun this weekend in the Kansas City area.

@fredchilds6808 6 лет назад

I have been reluctant to clean the engine bay. NOW, I am not. Thanks for the great video.

@Jimmerca 6 лет назад

Good tips on cleaning the engine bay only thing is I would be concerned with getting water inside the alternator. Any thoughts?

@joemessman1 6 лет назад

Yes, if you spray water directly into the engine bay, water can get into the body of the alternator through the cooling vents and short it out. It could also damage the diodes and/or voltage regulator.

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

I have cleaned all 3 of my Corvettes like this for the past 3 years never an issue. When you are driving In the rain the engine gets wet. Now an older car definitely wouldn’t spray the engine but with these new ones not worried one bit. 👍🏻

@century21award 6 лет назад

Corvettes 918 also, in the manual there is info for not spraying the engine bay areas that have a warning sticker for not spraying that part - just an FYI.

@Corvettes918 6 лет назад

They don't want people taking a water hose to the engine. Using a lower washer cleans better and uses less water. You don't want to take a garden hose and a fireman's nozzle to the engine bay. They gave to put in the manual to protect themselves from the people who don't think. 🤔 👍😂😂🤣😂
