3 Simple steps to clean your engine:

Make sure you don’t get water on the following:

5.Brake and power steering reservoirs

Dry Clean: 

     Clean the dust of the top of the engine using an  air vacuum  and brush. They should take 5 minutes. You can clean the intake using a metal wired brush or a rotary tool.

Wet Clean: 

     For this, you’ll need a hose. You can clean a warm or cold engine, but if you decide to clean a warm engine make sure you can place your hand comfortably on the intake. 

You should never pour cold water on a hot engine because it can crack engine parts.

You can use the following items to clean your engine:

1.Hose

2.Cleaning wipes

3.Soapy Water

4.Garbage bag

5.Micro soft fiber towel

     Firstly, you want to cover your engine with a garbage bag.

     Start by cleaning the hood then continue by cleaning outside the engine bay.

     You can hose the hood liner and can also spray soapy water around the painted surface to remove the dirt and grease. Finally, rinse everything down with water.

     Secondly, before removing the bag you should clean the outside of the engine bay with water and a cleaning wipe, but notice that do not use a high pressure hose, and ensure you rinse off the dirt and debris. 

     To clean tight spots of the engine you can use a brush and a pipe cleaner. Repeat the same process on other parts of the engine.

     Usually, you would split the engine in two and start cleaning (for example, passengers side or drivers side).

     We recommend you start cleaning from the front to the back. You should not use a hose to clean the engine.

Next remove the intake so you can protect it.

Clean engine:

     Remove any grease and oil with a cleaning wipe soapy water and brush. For hard to reach areas you can use a tooth brush or pipe cleaner to absorb the soapy water. To do this, you should use a  fiber towels.  Lastly, clean the rest of the engine with the towel.

Detailing:

You can use fabric dye to restore the hood liner

      You can use  spray wax to clean around the hood and engine.

     To detail the rubber or plastic surface, you can use a water based trim restorer.  This is non greasy, wont collect dust,  rejuvenates and protects the rubber and plastic.

Don’t use any oil or greasy products to restore the engine:

     Apply a small amount or trim restorer and spread it around your engine bay.

Don’t apply this product on your belt.

Remove the trim restorer with a microfiber towel.

Lastly, you can use a paint marker to restore the faded lettering on caps.

Now your engine should now look brand new!
