    I bought the engine compartment package this week. I spent the last hour or so cleaning the bay. I have to admit it was easier than I expected. Those brushes really make the job a snap and the nonsense cleaner is awesome. Great products and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to tackle this themselves.

      Technically that isn't possible, just as a water leak in a watercooled computer won't hurt anything (because it's pure water). If it's tap water though it contains conductive minerals. Sorry to hear but I'm guessing what happened is the car was started before it had a chance to dry out?

I only saw video's where detailers uses a lot of water, some of the detailers even took some parts out of it. But I am not so confident to do that. Now with your video I know now how to clean it also, but in a simple way. Thanks again! 😄👍

    Nice how-to! I use similar methods. But the dirt still remained down in between all those crevices the the brush and rag can’t reach. You’ll hate me, but I use Simple Green in a spray bottle, then use a high power hose to spray it all off. Once dry, I use a similar product to VLR but in a spray bottle to again get all the crevices shiny. It works pretty good👍

    I’m an ASE certified mechanic I also have owned a detail shop. That work just fine. But that a clean engine bay covered in road dust. I power wash them it is so much faster and as long as you don’t hammer the fuse block your fine. Everything in there is designed to get wet. Please don’t think I’m being rude. It’s hard to understand context when reading comments. I use a lot of there products as i no longer own my shop. There is no need for me to buy from my supplier as 5 gallon jugs of product would be pointless for me at this point. I do about 12 cars/trucks a year now. I just don’t want someone to be afraid to power wash their engine bay.

      I never really took the time with the brush. But I ‘ve had really good luck with a foaming tire cleaner and just letting it set. Coming back way later. And wiping it off with just a old rag. I have just opened the hood. Before the engine got hot. And just sprayed water on it with out to many problems. The silicone acts like water repellent. Just stay away from anything to greasy.
