Nice but you should have spent 6 bucks on a bottle of simple green on that engine bay

After looking at your engine bay I have concluded you DO NOT wash your car.

Leaves building up as if your car was in the arbor day run
Your black intake tubing is brown
There is dirt EVERYWHERE

Power washer and simple green MIGHT help...hell a miracle is almost needed

Take care of your car dude.

My old car I used to wash every week since it was blue and waxing/washing it would bring out its glory.

With the silver I washed it once then said **** it....3 hours of work and it ended up only 1% better than what it was like dirty. So yes I don't wash the car at all.
