Just wanted your guys opinion of my clean up of my engine bay. I relocated alot of the side harnesses and hid most of the wires as best as could. i used simple green 50/50 a scrubber. Cleaning the engine tomorrow at carwash.

Before it was cleaned

after cleaning

lol..red engine bays suck to clean!! it never gets like shiny looking..

cleanest ive got it..

 

damn, both looks real good

 

yes it really does suck *** to clean red. especially when the car has sun fade. Hiding some of the wires were really fun too. But its worth it

Wow, I can't believe your car is red. That doesn't even look like original paint. Most red Honda's turn pink. Great looking paint, bro.

Both of your guys' engine bays look great for red cars.

 

JDMlifestyle did you clean your valve cover with simple green? I have been looking for a way to clean my ITR valve cover is why im asking.

 

Looks like you did a good job.

 

looks clean alright

 

looks squeeky

 

Where did you hide all the wires? In the fenders? Please give some pointers.

 

Yes i did clean my valve cover with simple green not diluted. it seems to absorb and clean better than the diluted simple green.

I took unplugged all the wires i could and i had to lengthen some. i hid alot of them aound the bumper cover area and ran them along the frame. all wires were electric taped. put into wire loom then used electric tape to seal that around the wire loop then used several zip ties to hold into place.

 

You need to tighten your strut nuts on both sides.

 

looks nice...

 

Strut bolts are tighted now that i have my strut bar back one. just put them on like that so i wouldnt loose them

haha I saw that too.
Looks clean man.

 

He probably removed his strut bar so it was easier to clean the engine. I keep my **** clean too so I know what kind of pain the strut bar is.

 

that is a really good job of cleaning

 

Thats a nice engine bay paint from the beggining.... Doesn't simple green attract more dirt? Now you should armor all the engine bay

Thats wrong. Simple Green is the SHIZZNIT when i comes to cleaning an engine bay. Armoral,Black magic, Tireshine, all those will attract dirt and dust and leave a greasy film over everything.

 

I need to find some of that simple green automotive stuff..

I only have the household stuff. It doesnt seem to work as well.

 

picked mine up at autozone. i know pepboys has it to. This stuff works magic on motors

 

Simple Green works wonders

 

anyone know how to get the radiator overflow nice and clean same with the window washer fluid.

Thats a true cleaner.

Not only did he get off all that grease, oil, etc. But he worked hard enough and even got off that pesky engine!

now THAT is elbow grease.
