T8 JPE Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 What do people use to clean their engine bays. I've got loads of shinney bits of carbon now but theres a fair bit of dust and dirt around the place. Whats the best way to start obviously i dont wanna go in with the pressure washer just wondered how other people did it. Thanks in advance Quote

H5 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I use a roll of clingfilm, a soft alloy wheel brush, AutoGlym Engine and Machine cleaner and a hose, with either AutoGlym Vinyl and Rubber care or Poorboys dressing to finish.... Quote

As far as i can tell the only people now staffing the wash and go type places round manchester are either albanians or asbo riddled wasp youth... always the same m.o. .. joint is owned by either a shouty fat english bloke / Or a Young Asian with pockets overflowing with tenners !!

I figure cling film for the airfilter...anywhere else? Looking to clean my engine bay soon too. Quote

shire350Z Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 thought about one of them to ian you have one dont ya??!! how much was it and where you get it from??? the easy enough to fit or garage job?! Quote
Ian Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Catch can was £90ish & I used samcos instead of the clear tubing that came with it which were another £30. Can came from RHDJapan & samcos from demon tweaks. Easy enough job to do yourself Mine needs a good clean before the show start Quote
