    Engine Bay Detail

    Today i had the day off of school because we had open house last night. So i decided, since i was bored, to try and detail my engine bay. I was kinda nervous at first to tell you the truth but ive seen so many ppl do it here on the forum i was comfortable enough to try it out. It has never been washed/dressed so i never knew how my engine looked clean...

    Method:
    Rinse
    Pre-soak with Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash via foam gun
    Rinse
    Simple Green APC (need to get some Meguiar's APC)
    Let dwell for ~5 min
    Agitated with soft brush
    Rinse
    Dried with leaf blower (worked really well )
    Dressed with Armor-All Tire Foam (Armor-All i know, only foam dressing i had )
    Wiped down for matte look

    Here are the pictures:
    *pictures coming soon when my camera charges*
