Coat in degreaser, then hose off.Earthbornseven wrote:Anyone of you experts have any tips to help me out with cleaning the engine bay?
Just make sure you don't get too much degreaser/water on electricals.
Allow to dry.
Spray all plastics, hoses, plugs (anything black) with silicone spray - then wipe the excess spray off with a rag.
Then stand back and admire your engine bay.
It will look like this...
