Exclamation nasty

I need to know howe to clean my engine and all that good stuff under the hood because it is dusty and what can I put on it to make it look all new and shiny? Just like the outside and inside. Does it matter where I get water and soap or what? I have never done this before so I'm confused. Please help.

Jenz,

No stupid questions .

I'm merging/moving your post to the detailing forum since most of them have to do with that topic. You might want to try the search feature to look for 'engine detail' for previous posts where other members have already asked that question

Here are a couple of examples I found right away:

Talking

This forum is good for the basics but I recommend using www.autotopia.com this site is dedicated to detailing and is run by professional detailers. Also here is the article about detailing engines step by step http://www.bettercarcare.com/articles.php?articleId=25
