Default My B20A5 Engine Detail: Before&After

The 1991 4WS I recently picked up was insanely dirty -- everywhere. I'm a perfectionist and an obsessive-compulsive detailer ,so there was no way I could stand to leave it looking anything less than showroom clean.

Here's the process I took to bring my B20a5 back where it belongs.

- High pressure washed the entire engine bay, being careful not to direct the spray at any electrical components
- (Back at home) Wiped down everything within reach by hand, with a rag and a diluted car wash concentrate
- Wiped down everything with a dry towel
- Took a toothbrush and some glass cleaner to the hard-to-reach crevices
- Waxed every square inch of paint I could get my hands on with Meguiar's wax.
- Hand-buffed everything with a basic towel

All in all, probably 3hours of work, over the course of several days. But I think you'll agree, the results are worth it.
i did take this paragraph from tysons B21a1 detail thread so props to you tyson http://www.preludepower.com/fo...79298
