HELP!!! Won't stay clean....AAAGH!!

[ProjectCB7]

Here we go...my engine bay is really dirty...so I took some wax and grease remover and some toels and went at it. The actual body where the paint is all came out spiffy, but most of the engine components wern't so lucky. My intake and shit just seemed grimey...so I cleaned that...after it dried it just got grimey again...AAAAGH! The header cover did that too. Some of the stuff did come out real nice...most just stayed the same. the hood will take like a full can...lol...really really grimey. Please...any tid-bits would be awesome!!

okay, so back to the subject, a good way to finish off cleaning the engine bay is.... and i shit you not... with armor all tire foam. after you've simple greened and waxed the the painted areas, spray some tire foam on the hoses, valve cover, and intake. something that i do (just because i've heard it helps) is to spray foam, shut the hood, and then turn on the engine and let it run for a few minutes until it burns off most of the excess foam, then wipe off the rest. i haven't cleaned the engine bay in about 3 months and it still looks amazing.

I recently used some of this tire shine stuff and it looks great!!

JDM CB please keep the posts relavent to the topic at hand, were talking about an engine bay. not tires

[ProjectCB7]

It was completely relavent! lol. Te stff that was the worst was black...tire shine is black. So, if you use tire shine o the black parts it gets glossy. That was what I was referring to.
