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.
Thanks for this very needed video. Not everyone has access to a pressure washer, nor do they have the knowledge to clean an engine bay with water. Thank you!! Costa
Thanks for showing no-water cleaning. Last time I took a water spray to my engine, water -that turned into steam- destroyed the "micro chips" that control my spark plugs.
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?

VRP is great for so many different areas. I put it on my dash like 2 months ago and it is still shiny. I like nonsense too. Diluted 7:1 it still cleans and foams great.
I’ve used a garden hose and a spray bottle with dish soap to clean my 2020 chevy impala about 5 times now and haven’t had an issue. But this method in the video is a good alternative.
Nice! Thank you for this video. I was searching for a video for washing the engine, because I have just a new car and I want to keep it tight there this time. 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! 😄👍
Your videos and products are very productive. One thing I fail to see get done, is the hood and the hood latch. If we're paying attention to detail keep that in mind for your next engine bay dress up video. This things sometimes get over looked when in reality that should be the first detail to get checked off. Just an FYI. Again awesome video!!! 💪😎👌
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.
Heard that you need to be careful near the serpentine belt and timing belt area as the dust falling down will damage them and eventually the engine as well. I know this Mazda model doesn't have a timing belt so it was easy to clean.
Wish this was done on an older car with more usage, so we can really see the products work. Any reason to not take the engine cover off and do the intake as well?
Hey! Both are excellent choices for engine bay care. Black On Black covers more area in one spray and also works its way into crevices for a uniform finish with ease.
I always do the engine first with a pressure washer. I use chemical guys all clean +, Pressure wash it again. Then use the chemical guys air blower to dry. I have the old blue blower which looks like is discountined. Then finish it off with chemical guys silk shine. Ive owned multiple cars and never had any water issues doing it.
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.
Hi Joey.. again a great Video 👍🏼. I‘m using since years several CG products! I‘m planning as well to clean my engine bay as you showed it in this video! Just a question.. do you diluted the Nonsense Cleaner or did you ise it undiluted? Thanks 👍🏼😊
Did wash this engine at all before you actually shot the video at least clean the heavy dirt or dust build up? I noticed this engine was not too bad at all as if this car is always parked in the garage and not outside much in the elements.
Hi Chemical Guys. I have a work to do with Computers and Laptops. I would like to know if I can use your products to make them clean and renew them. Of course, I have experience with electronic components just think that many people use Alcohol to clean surfaces and keyboards I don't. I prefer PH balanced chemicals and more of the cases I use Baby wipes to make the work But I am looking for your advice
How 'sticky' is the plastic after using CRO? I used to use another Chemical Guys product (Tire/Trim Gel) and it looked great but seemed to attract dirt... The downside of dry cleaning is that the engine remains greasy and dirty of course ;-)
I really like this video because as an electrician water to electrical components goes against everything i ever learned 😂😂 so was very bery scared of that
Is this cleaner also affective with an engine that has oil sludge throughout the engine? Also the area under the engine cover can that be cleaned as well?
I have seen the chemical guys products but was not familiar with them. Glad I found this video. But what product can you use around the inside of door jams?
No water is a really good method. My neighbor is a district service manager for a car manufacturer (I won’t say who). He was saying the sensors are made for splash resistance when new, but that degrades over time. Rinsing water in there is asking for trouble especially on a vehicle that’s a couple years old.
Ok I’ve done this like when I was 22 but now at 56 I really rely on light water pressure sprayed quickly across the engine. I don’t go to shows anymore
Why would anyone care what the engine on their crappy Mazda looks like. I understand on a high end sports car but I had a guy who wanted this done on his Chevy Cruze and while I was happy to oblige, I don’t get it.
Detail Your Engine Bay!
- Nonsense All Purpose Cleaner: bit.ly/3Poqjjo
- VRP Dressing: bit.ly/3Ra1uJh
- All In The Details Brush: bit.ly/3Lafpva
- Workhorse Microfiber Applicator: bit.ly/3L7rIZ2
I used air compressor to blow all the dust off before doing this. Works great

did you dilute the product?
Glad to learn waterless/sprayless with the products and tools you already sold me!
🤩🤩
Exactly how I clean my engine bay. No water just these two great products.
Hi. Do you dilute the Nonsense Cleaner or do you use it undiluted? Thanks 👍🏼
@@Deanz09full strength if it’s this dirty. Nonsense doesn’t leave residue, so it’s pretty easy to use
@@woocoheedThank you! My engine is not so dirty, so I could dilute it with 1:10, right?
@@Deanz09yep, it will have less suds but still have cleaning power
Happy detailing!
Thanks for this very needed video. Not everyone has access to a pressure washer, nor do they have the knowledge to clean an engine bay with water. Thank you!! Costa
Glad it was helpful!
It's safer not to use a pressure washer, just hose pressure. But still a very valid comment.
simple green works too< much cheaper as well!!!

As a 2019 Mazda3 hatchback AWD, this video motivated me to clean my engine bay.
Thank you for showing how easy it can be to clean the engine bay, great video!

Did you take out the battery or cover the electronics when you spray?
Nice...! 😮😊
Oh, and the music selection is on point! 👍👍👍
Happy detailing!!
Two of my favorite Chemical Guys products. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed the video!

I really do appreciate you making this video, I learned a lot.
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Nice job, thanks for the video. I was able to pull the black cover off of the engine and clean also. Not sure if it is as easy on this car.
I NEED THEESE PRODUCTS!!! That was a beautiful thing to witness.

Just tried this today on my Mercedes C300 sport and came out beautifully like it just came out of the dealership. Thank you!
Thanks again for this video. Finally did it. Not perfect but looks soooo much better.

Great video 😊! I am learning so much watching and using your car cleaning products. Keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
I always use black on black on my engine bay and it always do wonders for my job❤
Enjoy your detailing products!!
@chemical guys yah the best hands down 💪🏼🙏🏼
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!!!
Not using water is a great cleaning maintenance on an engine bay that's already been clean with water soap and as you said the whole sha bang.
Happy detailing!!
Thank you! Always wanted to be able to do this for myself. Car is 5 years old, it’s time.
Happy detailing!!!
Beautiful job.

Muchos motores desde 2019 tienen una etiqueta that warns you about Not Wash!! So I love your way.
Thanks for watching!

I bought the products and used them today to clean my engine bay
Enjoy your detailing products!!
Wish this was done on an older car with more usage, so we can really see the products work. Any reason to not take the engine cover off and do the intake as well?
Is this as good as using water to wash down which is the best method?
Which would you recommend between VRP vs Back to Black?
Hey! Both are excellent choices for engine bay care. Black On Black covers more area in one spray and also works its way into crevices for a uniform finish with ease.
Just bought them both, along with some other stuff. Thanks a bunch 👍🏼

That’s a clean looking engine bay
😀
Great video, but…how about a muddy engine bay? Any tips or videos?
Thank you very much for this video! It was very helpful. Love your products as well! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Did you use only two black micro towels or multiple to stop spreading the dirt around?
Great job!! Joey I Plan On Cleaning My Engine Bay This Weekend?.. Thanks for Showing Us How To Do it!!👍👍🙂

Can you buy this product at auto parts stores.
Did wash this engine at all before you actually shot the video at least clean the heavy dirt or dust build up? I noticed this engine was not too bad at all as if this car is always parked in the garage and not outside much in the elements.
So how is that VRP different to the Natural shine bottle?

Where did you get that two bottles? What the name? Thanks
I will buy some of your products, because I see them offered on Amazon too, my online store for things we need.
Enjoy your detailing products!!
Thanks Joey. Do you recommend using VRP on my boars hair brush to get in tight spots.
I appreciate you showing how you did the hard parts this time!
Absolutely!
How long to do a bay?
How 'sticky' is the plastic after using CRO? I used to use another Chemical Guys product (Tire/Trim Gel) and it looked great but seemed to attract dirt... The downside of dry cleaning is that the engine remains greasy and dirty of course ;-)
Would it be better to take off the engine cover?
Can that product clean black vinyl hood decals?

I have seen the chemical guys products but was not familiar with them. Glad I found this video. But what product can you use around the inside of door jams?
Hi there! Use your favorite quick detail spray or Nonsense All Purpose Cleaner to detail the door jamb.
you can use the "VRP" it works great also around the trunk and hood rubbers if you have them
Nice video! I learn something new every time I watch. Thank you and keep the knowledge coming.
Thanks so much for being part of the Chemical Guys family!!
Good information thanks

No water is a really good method. My neighbor is a district service manager for a car manufacturer (I won’t say who).

Thats a blatant lie
Hii .. Can u plese explain how to clean door jambs/ fuel lids /wood
Hi there! Nonsense All Purpose Cleaner or your favorite quick detail spray can be used to detail door jambs, filler doors and tight spaces.
@@ChemicalGuys Car Emblem /Monograms
Cool, but what about those cars that might have an oil leak that needs to be cleaned up. You need to clean one of my kids engines.
Awesome job!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Can I just spray the nonsense all purpose cleaner all around on the surface under the hood? Instead of spaying it on a towel or brush
Thank you
🤩🤩
Good job bro👍
🤩🤩
Awesome 👌 thanks bro 🎉

Can I use this on my motorcycle engine
Absolutely!
Ok I’ve done this like when I was 22 but now at 56 I really rely on light water pressure sprayed quickly across the engine. I don’t go to shows anymore
I I I I I I I I
I’m going to try this! Thank you!

This is the video for me because I've never cleaned an engine bay and I knew I was not going to use water.
I want to start mobile car wash in Uganda that's why need to look for good products
Why not HydroShield?
HydroShield is also a great choice!!
You miss a spot on the intake box product work though
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Awesome
😍😍
"So now it looks better than you"
LOL😂
😆
1:04. Or… both 😬
Foam cannon
Happy foaming!
Good idea if I’m selling the vehicle.
Happy detailing!
Should have used a TORNADOR 🙋♂️👍
Why not just take the beauty cover off to clean it. That way you can clean the underside too.
Point less
Less it's your own car
Nobody even halfway car literate keeps those useless plastic covers in place. So majority of the intake beneath that cover is still caked with crud.
Where is all the dirt going into the microfibre towels? Aren’t you just spreading it around.?
Bro you missed the bottom of the hood….
just pull off the plastic engine cover.. much easier to clean both sides
Good tip!
Basically don’t be scared to clean your engine bay, just have some common sense and shine on. Patiently..
Happy detailing!
Great instruction. Horrible music though.
Thanks so much for your feedback!
this is only cleaning the visible areas - not actually cleaning as a whole. plus, this is not a dirty engine.
I fail to see how this method qualifies as 'Detailing'. Good products, but the method is lacking for 'detailing'. More like a 15 minute quick clean.
hahaha yeah, if the bay is coated with dirt, oil, and grime; time to bust out the light-pressure hose!
Nice video, but most of us don't have the several hours you spent on that engine
Thanks so much for tuning in
😊Doesn’t take long at all! 20minutes and you’re basically done. Unless you have an old dusty dirty engine bay lol!
Why would anyone care what the engine on their crappy Mazda looks like. I understand on a high end sports car but I had a guy who wanted this done on his Chevy Cruze and while I was happy to oblige, I don’t get it.
Pride?
