Default Engine Detailing Ideas
I just bought a '96 Accord and wanted to clean up the engine compartment. What's the best stuff to use? And the safest way to go about it without screwing something up under the hood?

I used to always spray with purple power wipe with a rag and rinse off just cover up air filter if exposed

Purple power or simplegreen or mean green, let sit for 10 min rinse. There is also a product called Aluma Bright, spray on let sit 3 sec and rinse off.

And avoid a pressure washer. Use water straight from the hose, no nozzle, to rinse.
