my friend has a power washer and i was thinking about cleaning my engine bay.. what stuff should i make sure not to hit?

[accordztech]

ur fine, just cover the dist cap

and if u have a coil cover that

dont concentrate on the alternator..just pass over it.

u will be fine..

i use it all the time..u will probably not even need degreaser.

Simple green ownz j0o .....

Just dilute the stuff in the bottle because its concentrate .

I removed my intake and covered the dizzy with a plastic bag and sprayed everything down (well not everything ) . Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes and grab a rag and a toothbrush and go to work. Spray wth water or more SG as you scrub. Take about an hour for everything to be sparkling but then again I am OCD .

Here is a pic because I like whoring my car but it needs to be cleaned again this week.




And don't mind my "covert" turbo cover

Does simple green really eat up the paint? I hope not. I used some to clean the painted radiator support bracket.

well cpmike might need to elaborate so that we can know the circumstances of his situation, but i've never had any issues (or heard of any up until now) with simple green harming the paint.

however, if you have some overspray, and it lands on a waxed surface, it will remove the wax, so make sure to rinse and wipe before it does any noticeable damage.

also VRDrvr made a good point in that you'll need small brushes and a sponge to get to tight areas that won't let grime release, otherwise you'll be stuck with a modestly clean engine with some dirty spots that stick out like a sore thumb.

nice work VRDrvr, do you have any other pics of your car?
