Mike Phillips......got a question for ya......

[mcpp66]

Any chance of doing a video on engine detailing??

[Mike Phillips]

Great question and I'll pass this along...

What's challenging is there's always more ideas for great videos than there is time to shoot and edit... at this time...


:)

[mcpp66]

Understood man..........but hopefully you get the time to put out such a video!

[TheGLL]

Great idea!
I'm afraid to clean my engine bay, a video might help to have confidence in me that "I can do it". :laugh:

[mcpp66]

Now you can tell Max you have two votes for an engine detailing video.

[clm65]

...three!

[mcpp66]

I think I may have started something here............tell Yancy to get the camera ready!!!

Four. I am deathly afraid to take a hose under my hood! :dig: Maybe you could do part of the video or a separate video on rinseless/waterless engine washing? Though I'm not sure how that would turn out.

[mcpp66]

Do I hear five??

Really guys, there's not much to taking water to your engine bay. Just remember to:
1) cover all electrical components
2) never SPRAY, use low pressure
3) agitate with a soft brush
4) make sure the engine is cool before you begin

After that it's just like cleaning your tires and wheels. Some will say I'm wrong, but I have cleaned numerous engine bays and have yet to ever have any problems what so ever. Now, if you have a Laborgini, Ashten Martin, Bently or any other 150k+ vehicle well just use a rag and soapy water.

They already made a video for that..........just suggesting a video for engine detailing, which does frighten some people (including me).

I've detailed a few engines and it's actually very easy. I think the key is the right degreaser and a pressure washer. The few engines I've done were pretty dirty, and I didn't scrub anything! I sprayed an ample amount of optimum power clean undiluted, let it dwell for a couple minutes, then rinsed with the pressure washer. Engine CLEAN!! Dried with a leaf blower, then sprayed with CD-2. Let the CD-2 dwell for a bit, then quickly wiped to a matte, new look! The only thing I covered on the engines was an exposed alternator. Never have had any problems, knock on wood!

I would never consider engine detailing without a pressure washer. It makes a huge difference, IMO. Then again, some are afraid to use one, which is understandable. :dblthumb2:

Yepper, looks like we need a video!

Add another vote 4 it.
