Engine cleaning?

[JBWRX06]

What can i use to clean my engine? Cause i spray the whole thing with water? Whats a good product to use? I wanna keep my engine bay clean so it doesnt look like crap compared to the rest of the car!

This stuff actually works very,very well and will not cause problems with aluminium.Just read the directions on the can.

LOL that's funny dumdum, just that name BLACK MAGIC! LOL But from personal experience it DOES work!

a lot of people use simple green too

[JBWRX06]

can i soak my entire engine, and just put a plastic bag over my intake filter?

[metroscub]

cover the filter...............then spray away, I always wipe excess though. and also, the black magic tire foaming tire cleaner works well as well.

where can i buy simple green? And do i dump half it out and fill it with water so it dont eat away anything?

[WReXd]

You can buy simple green at home depot, walmart, lowes, probably target too. I've always used it at full concentration and haven't had any problems for over a year. My car was over 4 yrs old when I bought it though, so your engine bay should be much cleaner than mine. You could probably get away with diluting the liquid.

Be carefull with the Simple Green.It will discolor aluminum unless its the Automotive formula.

I always use a toothbrush and scrub away any excess dirt grease or just whatever.
