Might be a stupid question, but what kind of polish or cleaning agent do you use on rubber/ plastic parts in the engine bay (i.e. black magic, mothers, armor all)? I want to clean the engine bay up a little, but wasn't sure if there is any potential risk for a fire hazard. Thanks for any help.

What do you mean clean your engine bay? To clean the bay you just use a citrus cleaner, but if you want to make it look good you can use armor all on the plastic parts in the engine bay

I just did this yesterday...I use a citrus based cleaner (from Autozone) to clean...To make everything look fresh and shiny I used Meguir's rubber/vinyl spray. I followed this web site

Thanks for the help. Armor All wont catch fire if you drive the car will it?

I've always used armorall, and I've never had a problem. Just did this yesterday

Armor-all on the big plastic pieces...airbox etc. But once or twice a year I use a little Armor-all tire foam. I don't go crazy, and a little careful around the belts. Does the same thing, but quicker and I can get it into tight places, fender wells etc. that I can't get to otherwise.

Thanks again
