There is a big difference between a car enthusiast and a mechanic: cleanliness. Most mechanics snap on parts and never clean the surrounding areas, and a car enthusiast will spot clean with a toothbrush everything. The car is the reflection of who you are.

There's also a big difference in knowledge of cars between mechanic and enthusiasts. Also big difference between a Car detailer and a mechanic. Enthusiasts know about looks, the features, they put a premium on aesthetics, ride and technology, needless to say a mechanics knowledge is more comprehensive and definitive, they know each brands weakness and strengths, the engineering pros and cons, because they're the ones who actually deal with the issues. This is why I don't listen to RU-vid "car enthusiasts" featuring cars for buyers, I ask seasoned mechanics. Most "enthusiasts" don't even know how a combustion engines works, they do cosmetic work but can't do maintenance work. Also, cannot fault mechanics for not having the time to clean their engine bay and its so time consuming as it is detail work, my uncle was a mechanic and sometimes they're so dead tired they would fall asleep with some grease still on them. If you don't know how a garage runs, you wouldn't know why mechanics are the way they are. They put cosmetics behind practicality and function.

I have watched and learned from many of Scotty's video but this one...PUMP THE BRAKES!! He starts off by saying NEVER clean the engine then ends with why it's best to keep a clean engine. I have been working on cars for YEARS and nothing is better than working on a clean engine. I always promote washing engines because like Scotty says as well as many others here, a clean engine helps with finding leaks especially small oil, and transmission leaks. Also oil and dirt build up creates a layer that causes the engine to not cool. Yes the radiator coolant keeps the car from over heating but also air passing over the outside of the engine and tranny does as well. I have been washing engines for years and NEVER had an issue. I use the engine degreaser then high pressure spray it off, even spraying the SEALED electrical parts. I do not wait until the engine has cooled because a warm engine also help evaporate the rinse water as I drive the car off from the car wash. Every mechanic that I have encountered has said they would rather work on a clean engine rather than a dirty oily engine because a lot of time the dirt contaminates the new parts and the oils makes the nuts and bolts slip on the tools! SO CLEAN THOSE ENGINES. They run cooler and are easier to maintenance.

I agree with everything you said except for "I do not wait until the engine has cooled." You make it seem like the engine is operating temp by saying you were at a car wash. Never rinse a hot or even operating temp engine you will destroy the metal by thermal shock.

Just don't do it with super high pressure.

The way I was thought by a professional car detailer is this: Disconnect the negative off the battery. Brush all that you can before you apply water or degreaser. Brush all the dust and grime that you can get, then blow it off with an air compressor. Next is to apply the degreaser of choice and scrub all you can using a variety of brushes from small to big, plastic and copper wire. Then carefully rinse it off avoiding all the electronics like alternator and fuse box. Next is to blow all the water off with an air compressor and let everything dry completely.

Do not totally agree with you on that topic but your reasoning is correct. Mainly, fans of clean engine bays do it because they like doing that, like the aspect of a clean bay (and they do what they want, no restriction on that of course), not because of functional reasons. A clean radiator is more important.
@SoloKyoto
@SoloKyoto 3 года назад
I have used water hoses/carwash pressure washers to clean my cars engine bays for years and have never had a single issue, granted I take most of my cars to car shows and events but all I do is not directly spray the electronics and intake, if I have to get close to electronic I always disconnect the negative battery terminal or if close to the intake (cold air or pod filter) I cover it with a plastic bag. Then wait for it to dry decently and remove any pooled water with microfiber cloths. Never failed me or caused me a single issue and a clean engine is MUCH more pleasant to work on than a dirty, greasy one.
