Finally decided to clean my engine bay and I have to say it was a little nerve racking. I put bags over the electronics and left it running. Tossed on some degreaser and sprayed away. For the shine I used WD40 and armorall.



p.s. I get my cold air intake tomorrow

 

Afterwards I took my poodle Gracie for a ride. With the moonroof open, her fro stuck out

 

Looks clean now

You should have run it for a couple of minutes and then cover the electronics and degrease it.

 

That's what I did

 

man, came out nice. her "fro" stuck out. lol

 

Looks great Be careful with the WD40 and Armorall though, neither are good for rubber or plastic.

 

I agree with this guy. From my experience it's been detrimental to plastic and rubber especially.

 

wasn't expecting to see a big, fluffy poodle...cute.

 

nice..i like the clean engine bay

 

lucky you... my dog ripped my seats doing that...

 

Yeah, that happened to me too. Damn dogs. She only got the driver's seat (had to take her to the vet, she weighed ~120 at the time). Finally got my brother to take her to his house, not my problem any more!

I haven't done any serious engine cleaning on my car yet, probably just going to see what I can do to it with paper towels and a small amount of water.

 

Clean..now time to swap a 1JZ in...

 

"Standard" poodle.

"Poodle" is a fluffy little waste of good oxygen. "Standard poodle" is a killing machine
