Message: <blockquote data-quote="fishbonezken" data-source="post: 1064095665" data-attributes="member: 23056">Washing an engine bay can vary from paying RM15 to have an operator at a car wash station to spray very strong degreaser on a hot engine and then pressure washing it to doing it yourself by patiently wrapping the alternator, wiring connectors, etc.(A) The safest would be using a damp cloth and wipe it down, but this won't clean it in tight areas where the cloth won't reach.(B) Next is to use the Detalien method of spraying some Alien Clean and brush it down with a detail brush and then rinsing it off with Alien No Rinse to neutralize the cleaner while the polymers in Alien No Rinse provide some mild protection to the cleaned surfaces. This method will get it clean without introducing too much water to the engine bay.As documented by SuperDetailer:<a href="http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-detailing-forums/417234-12-years-never-wash.html" target="_blank">http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-detailing-forums/417234-12-years-never-wash.html</a>and kc2:<a href="http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-detailing-forums/416948-advance-car-detailing-lesson-handling-rotary-and-paint-correction-by-detailiens.html" target="_blank">http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/car-detailing-forums/416948-advance-car-detailing-lesson-handling-rotary-and-paint-correction-by-detailiens.html</a>(C)The next 'level of risk' would be to wash it by spraying cleaner and brushing it down, then rinsing off with a gentle flow of water from the hose (no pressure).Documented here:http://wetshine.net/2011/06/21/how-to-detail-your-engine-bay-basic/Which method you choose will depend on the age/type of engine you are working on. Method B is good and safe to be used on new or older engines. Method C is riskier but could be faster.How often to wash?If you wipe down your engine bay after each wash, you probably only need to wash it every 8-12 months.</blockquote>
