I Just got a 97 ex and the owners wernt big car people so the engine bay has a nice layer of dirt and dust on just about every thing... I put my intake on it tonite and you wouldnt believe the crap that came out!
So what should i use to wash it? My friends have been telling me pressure washer, but i dont know if that would hurt it at all.
Any ideas?

 

Search the archive for 'clean engine bay' - lots and lots of topics.... mostly involving simple green or gunk engine degreaser.

 

cover ur alarm, dizzy and alt, and ur filter and get some simple green and get to work, and use a fireman hose on ur house hose, and it will be stright bling, make sure to dry it up good

 

One suggestion I have to clean out the internals is Sea Foam. Do a search on it, there are a ton of threads about it. It's great stuff.

As for cleaning the engine bay, there are a lot of options. Simple green, fast orange and a nice stiff brush, a pressure washer..... No matter what you do just be sure to cover and seal all of the electrical stuff. There a bunch of threads about this topic too.

 

i always pressure wash my engine bay when i go to the car wash, works fine, i dont even worry bout messing with simple green or fast orange. plus pressure washer is faster

 

If it is really dirty, spray some simple green and then let it set for a few minutes. Then pressure wash it off.

 

I have learned that the SEARCH option is your friend........give it a try and you just might like it

 

SIMPLE GREEN, coverup the electrical stuff and spray away!

 

use Castro Super Clean....spray on leave in for 10-15 min. hose off or spray on and hose off with the pressure washer at the car wash....Castro is some good stuff....
