hey all. mike again. im just wonderin what to use to clean my engine cause it looks like **** right now and all thah pics ive seen on here thah engines are clean and nice lookin.

 

On mine, i used those engine sprays, the degreasers, but covering up the elec components and the timing belts... scrub with soft brushes, and or toothbrushes for small areas, and then a careful hosewash.... if you do it, be sure the engine is NOT hot, or else there would be warping, and do it on a day youre not gonna drive, cuz either, if you get wet something crucial you might get it screwed, and/or you might start blowing out steam (looks like smoke haha) from under the hood. This is of course MY method, and i already got the hang of it, some other people wash it dry, or pressure, or steam...

 

I used Meyers stove top cleaner cause it has a degreaser and it worked actually wicked good, i just spray that stuff on, let it sit for about 30 seconds and wipe off with a rag, works wonders for me

 

Cleaver idea!!!... im gonna have to try that up, i just hope my engine bay doesnt smell like spring gardens haha!, i never thought of it cuz you know how the normal degreasers are suppossed to be heavy duty.....

 

Haha, yeah youd be surprised what home products can do man, look at this, my Bronco had rust spots and mold everywhere on the rear carpet when i first bought it, so i tried some mean green and a hell of a lot of elbow grease and look how it came out.

Thats what i need for some stains on my clipse... nice! thnx for the tip... i had a bronco as well! a bronco II, damn thing LOVED to shut down on me, and my dad just arrived and it would work as if nothing!!! stupid car hated me!!! stoopid fords -_- hahaa but all in all, good ride, specially since it was a sidewalk climber

 

Yeah man works wonders in my mind, and yeah i had a 95 Bronco XLT and that thing had some serious power to it for a bronco. I mean after a brand new ECU, fuel pump, radiator, air bag module, and alot of brake lines that thing stayed running after it **** the bed on me 3 times, not mine no more, got sold to a bronco freak for 2k.

But yeah, like i said alot of house hold cleaning stuff will do alot better than brand name stuff, such as i use windex instead of armor all window wipes or window cleaner and it works 10 times better. I also use that Meyers on my interior, works alot better than armor all.

 

thanks.
