Don&Patty Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 What do you use to clean your engine and engine compartment at home. I know some use Simple Green but that stuff makes my eyes water for two days after. What else is their and any problem with electrical components?

1EvilC5 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I think the first time I usually clean an engine bay with Simple Green or an Engine Degreaser. After that, I usually will use a damp cloth with soap and water to wipe down the dust. I try to wipe the engine compartment of the Vette at least everytime I wipe down the outside. Typically once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Those two have a couple of the cleanest engine bays on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UVETTYA Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 You can dilute the Simple Green 50/50 and it's not so caustic. I use it full strength on my tires, wheels and wheel wells. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I have heard some use Windex on their engine compartments. If it's mainly dirt/dust from AC fans, just a water rinse should work, being careful around your battry area/ computer. No need to soak it, then detail with whatever product you like on plastic parts, and or wax the painted areas I too like a clean engine area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
