A clean bay is a happy bay.

Good work.

 

i prefer the degreaser / pressure washer approach. but good work, sir.

 

^Yep. Good work, looks much better.

 

do you make house calls? :P

Good job. I need to do the same.

 

ahh..come on!..
You got a New car!..admit it..LOL!

 

Haha

 

Optimum Power Clean is even easier to use if you have weak elbows ;-)

I couldn't keep my car clean without that stuff.

 

Wow, big difference...I need to get to doing that one day...I love the way my car runs now, just hate how dirty my engine bay is lol. I've been slowly making everything in my bay satin black though so it's getting a nice stealth stock look.

 

I have the original engine on mine 91k and counting... I race 2ice a month (autocrossing) i needed to add some heat wrapping tape around some parts so decided to make it look a bit clean. I used dish soap because my wife doesnt like the smell of degreaser. If anyone has ever tried it is cheaper and better than any degreaser i have ever used. Ive tried engine brite all 4 flavors, castrol super degreaser and the green stuff. They all smell awful and leave a residue.

Alex.

P.S. ill post pics of everything back in when Im done (the end of the week)

Buy a 32 oz sprayer and do a 50/50 mixture the more soap the better.

 

Looks good. I used some industrial cleaner from a machine shop after I did a vacuum hose job and both the car and engine smelled like oranges for 3 months....
