Did he wash ot while running, if you wash it at a car wash, at a good safe distance. Well, how likely is this to have a cracked whatever... proably while it is off with low pressure, very nice spray misting, gently.

@tylerc7037 2 года назад

I did this trick on both of my cars that were way overdue on a cleanup. I used a small bucket of water, handful of crappy towels, a wax applicator, simple green, and dawn power wash. It worked pretty damn good. I Topped it off with Chemical Guys Tire Kicker Shine that's good on plastics. I did this over the summer and the engines are still pretty clean.

@BenJustSaid 2 года назад

Keep in mind that since you are cleaning your engine bay you could lift old oil gunk that is potentially preventing an oil leak. So if you start seeing a leak after washing your engine bay, just figure out where it comes from and fix it.

@altonrowell8137 2 года назад

As a mechanic I saw a old man drive up to the shop. His engine was hot as Hades. He grabbed a water hose and sprayed it down. And I thought it was going to burst into Peace's. Stream went everywhere , he even had to stand back. If he had removed the radiator cap I'm positive it would have killed him dead.

@thankyougod669 2 года назад

Aha! Good tips! I think in general we should avoid even spraying the engine area, as in only do it for every 5th time you spray the rest of the car. It's just too risky and is not worth it. I mean, who is going to complain that your engine is not as sparkly clean and shiny as the external body of your vehicle? 🤣

@macegarage9603 2 года назад

Ow yeah i really appreciate this, at last found a reliable channel with this one. I hgihly dont recommend such detailing / wash over process in car's engine bay, tho other does since they say it is completely sealed, but for any reason and for safety as well as you can sleep well at night, Very same thoughts of me from this content man. Just don't do washing over any full water with or with out pressure. Just clean it with wet rag, different brushes size and vacuum + blower are complete good enough to clean engine bay. Been many to many engine issues specially coilpacks from our client, really a bad idea that they ain't know that they where kinda scam, or they followed Facebook's posts that doing same process for engine detail. Thanks for this, keep it up!

Degrease everything besides alternator or exposed air filter / intake, agitate with brush pressure wash, blow dry, spray UV protection, run the engine to dry

@vulture116 Год назад

You can take off the air filter and spray it with degreaser. Then air blow the filter until it is dry. Then you can put it back in.

@peterrudy9207 2 года назад

I stuff 1-2 microfiber towels into the air intake to prevent water from getting inside . Miranda Detailing [ RU-vid ] says cracking an engine by spraying cold water is not an issue , nowadays . After my egine is dry , I liberally spray 303 Protectant all over . As this will resist cracking and drying out of rubber and plastic components . And makes sense to not spray debris out of engine area / below windshield , but vacuum it out . Since my car is parked across the parking lot . I'll buy a cordless vacuum to do so , Milwaukee .
