Before i even got my new car i got into detailing because of your videos! I loooove keeping everything clean and ive already ordered so many products. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
as far as I know, one should never pressure wash an engine bay. there are some connectors and seals that yeah, they're supossed to be waterproof but over time and with temps up and downs they tend to be less sealed. so a garden hose would do the job safer.
Great job! Carpro MulitX is not designed for engine cleaning it is a multiple Iron & Tar remover.. Both dose not contaminate inside engine. I prefer degreaser so it work better for engine oils.
I just did this to an ML350 Bluetec, however i removed the engine cover. Now I know it's clean everywhere. I like to use Superclean, i buy the gallon jugs and then dilute it for different applications. For the engine bay no dilution is needed.
Hi bro I like your works but please tell me about the steps before cleaning the engine bay what are the precautions steps to be taken in case of vehicle whose engine bay comes with proper guard or something
Wow looks amazing! I'm new with detailing but this is what I'm worry. All- alternator and similar electric parts and connectors with jet wash? How this works? Final effect is great! Tom.
nice work. but it would be great it you could show cleaning of ~15years old typical john smith passat diesel, where a lot of gunk whas build during that time. this would show the real transformation. not mild dusted new engine ;)
What is the dilution for multi x for use in the engine bay? Also is there anything I need to wrap in a plastic bag (avoid getting electronics wet) in a 2012 e300 Mercedes?
When doing engine bay cleaning, did you disconnect battery and cover any components like Alternator? Am planning to do the same for my BMW X5 G05… but figuring out anything that needs to be covered
Hey VCD, big fan. I'm trying to use your method but I just had a question. What is that foam stuff that you used? (Is it the CARPRO Reset Shampoo?) Is that the same as regular car shampoo for washing the exterior? And any reason you used the iK Foam PRO 2 instead of a regular foam gun/cannon? Thanks, and keep up the great work
Nooo. By removing the cover you exposed yourself to mechanical issues. Unless you can fix the engine lights, engine running rough, leave it alone, that is why they put a cover.
Very nice job on that engine bay. The commercials are getting a bit to much and it's not just your channel , watching UA-cam is like watching TV with a commercial every few minutes. It's becoming lee's enjoyable.
Thanks Philipp! On modern cars I don’t do that. If you want to be extremely cautious you can, but I don’t think it’s necessary. Modern engine bays can deal with some water.
Thank you, appreciate it! I never had an issue doing it this way with newer engines. With older engines I'd recommend covering up any sensitive and exposed electrical parts etc.
I washed my engine bay with some degreaser a few months ago. I've had 3 warning lights since. I did cover the alternator and disconnected the battery and used a garden hose instead of a pressure washer.
How old is your vehicle? Pressure would be better as the water is going at a higher velocity and pushing dirt off. Using a garden hose is basically drowning the vehicles parts.
@@a1inMil-Experience It was nothing that affected driving safety, fortunately. My dad took the car for maintenance recently and apparently the ABS system fuse had blown which caused the warning lights.
@@idkwuisp7626 check this out for more safer way to clean the engine bay ua-cam.com/video/PRSoRkM8GcM/v-deo.html My personal opinion is not to use water horse. Using a soapy water in a spray bottle would be ideal and wipe out all the moisture by wiping out + vacuuming asap.
Hi Vermjil ! Did you dilute the reset in 1:400? when I want to prepare my dilutions, I have 3 ml for 1.5 l is it possible? what dilution do you use to make the engine compartment?
The first application of MultiX and Perl wasn't diluted? If not have you ever come across any etching/decomposing issues using it full strength? I've been too scared to attempt it.
You could use MultiX undiluted when the engine bay is extremely dirty/greasy, it was designed to be used like that (only for certain purposes) but in this case I used it 1:10. Strong enough in my opinion, I personally have never used it undiluted. Also Perl has been diluted 1:3.
Its pain to watch. I dont like to bring water to any electrical cable. I usually use wet towel and brush with soap then wipe it when finish one section. But great asmr for blower.
Thank you! I don't think it really matters, especially with these newer engines, but it's probably best to clean when it's cooled off. Also if you're cleaning an older engine I'd recommend covering up any sensitive and exposed electrical parts etc.
Super! Zijn echt top producten. Ik verdun MultiX gewoonlijk 1:20 (1:10 indien heel zwaar vervuild) en Perl 1:3, als je het graag wat meer wil doen glanzen kan je het puur of 1:2 gebruiken 😉
Thanks Artur! I’ve detailed a lot of modern engine bays this way and I’ve never had an issue. If there are any exposed electrical parts or wires I do cover them up with a plastic bag, just to be sure. But other than that you should be fine doing it this way! I wouldn’t do this on an older engine, in that case I prefer to use a steamer (also have a video on that)
If you cover the fuse box and alternator, then you’re good to go in most cases. Maybe take out the air filter or battery if you’re nervous and paranoid about it but otherwise it’s all good. The finish you get is insane as it’s rarely done with most cars.
@@VermijlCarDetail There should be no problem cleaning with water a Nissan Sentra Nismo 2018 I’m kinda scared doing it, there’s anything you could recommend me or I’ll just go for it
Do you know Koch Chemie Motorplast? It is greate you can use this as a wet post treatment for the engine bay. You have to spray it on the wet surface an let it sit for a few hours. Finish with out touching agin the engine bay. It perfect for high temperature parts
Why is so satisfying to watch at 1Am🥰
You are right bro
at 10 past 1 I can only agree lmaooo😂😂
🤣 1:43am here. Literally gratifying to watch this.
Electrical circuits

Thanks man!
Be careful that all that stuff is not going to the air filter, just an advice. Nice job by the way
Why tell us?
Its all good just mercedes.
It will smell wet dog in the car if you spray water in those vents in the engine bay ,This is why you need to be careful if you owned a merc you know
I've learned a lot watching 👀 your videos. Thanks again for sharing your skill it's very rewarding.
Dude you are the best👍👌🤟
My idols detailer..love it
I do this to my car and it doesn't turn on in 3 months 😂😂😂. Great job!
Music to my ears ❤
You can also use the blower to blow the Perl into every nook and cranny. Greetings from Holland

perl leave such a nice finish :) looking at that hand foamer, make me wonder if multiX actually can be foamed too? if you ever had try :)
Hey Lukas, I guess you could foam MultiX, never tried it, but it should work.
nice work. but it would be great it you could show cleaning of ~15years old typical john smith passat diesel, where a lot of gunk whas build during that time. this would show the real transformation. not mild dusted new engine ;)
Thank you man! Unfortunately I do not get to work on ~15years old typical john smith passat diesels. Most cars I get to work on are (fairly) new.
Hi Dude, is steam wash a safer method for engine bay wash? ? plus the protection of plastic cover on electrical parts.
What is the dilution for multi x for use in the engine bay? Also is there anything I need to wrap in a plastic bag (avoid getting electronics wet) in a 2012 e300 Mercedes?
Great content, some say not to use pressure washer on the engine bay?
I wouldn't recommend it.. It has is risks
I love your videos. No words, just great work, cool music and addiction to perfection:). So I should not be afraid to spray water on my engine?:)
so relaxing

Well done, one info in mind just I need to know
, I think the car must be cold right?? it should not be hot to perform this detailing and washing.
Do you have to disconnect the battery or cover the alternator whenever cleaning any engine bay?
You can if you want to be extra careful, but it’s not necessary for modern cars
I always do just to be more careful
Beautiful survey video, only not enought clean under car hood and under shield motor .
No one loved and caressed their windshield water cap like he did !
Gotta love the windshield water cap!
Your content is awesome dude !
Thank you Kevin! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
i love your videos... but next time try to remove engine cover... you just cleaned 50% of the engine.
Looked pretty clean to me.
Nooo. By removing the cover you exposed yourself to mechanical issues. Unless you can fix the engine lights, engine running rough, leave it alone, that is why they put a cover.
@@Gnetbird i do this deep engine cleanings and never had any issue
German vehicles are different some have intakes connected to the cover its safer to leave it
Idol. Verygood.
What kind of engine bays can you do this to. I’m guessing you can’t do it on all of them. Is it only ones that have everything covered?
Only newer cars.
can you wash the engine of a 2008 seat Ibiza? without having electrical problems? Greetings from Mexico City
thank god its only dust inside the engine bay.. here in malaysia.. you can see many kinds of stuff inside the engine bay.. mud, cats furr and etc
Nice work! Very good camera job. May I know what camera you use please?
i love your videos so much
I really appreciate it!
If the battery is in the engine bay. Do you cover it? Because I’m scared to use a pressure washer 😅😂
its Amazing!!!
Breaks my heart to see you clena with water and foam

I’m using CARPRO Reset in the iK sprayer, which is a pH-neutral car shampoo
Do you disconnect the battery while cleaning the engine bay?
Awesome work!!

@@VermijlCarDetail 2013 models and up?
@@nix_fx easily will cope with that
Interesting to watch to soak up the entire engine bay like this...
I just rinsed mine and I had to change the whole ignition.
I wasn't worth it....
Did you cover up the alternator? And engine fuse box?
Can you do this on any car? Like doesn't this hurt the belts?
Great job 👏 .. but to be honest I would close the air filter vents to be more careful 😄
Quick question: do i need to run the engine when im spraying it with the power washer?
Yea, if you want to be really cautious you’re better off disconnecting the battery instead of running the engine.
lmfao what
Amazing work!! Thanks for your videos!! Do you have any special careful with water on the engine bay?? Thanks again!!🚘
Thank you, appreciate it! I never had an issue doing it this way with newer engines. With older engines I'd recommend covering up any sensitive and exposed electrical parts etc.

@@urbantactical148 good question

@@JJS432 It's 2004. I see, but i thought pressure would force the water into seals and electrical connectors so i didn't want to do that.

Question: when you clean the engine must turn on or turn off?
You’re my favorite Detailer. Very good work. and do you have a US link to the Zonder Tip for the Sprayer? I’ve been looking for it and can’t find it.
Thank you so much man! I’m afraid I can’t help u with that, I couldn’t find it in the US.
Thank you so much! Please countie the good work. God bless you! Peace and blessings
is it safe to wash the engine bay like this? the car I did so last time lost one valve after wash the engine bay like this....
Question do you clean under the engine covers or just over them??
All of the engines that you could have chosen, you pick the one that have 95% flat panels.
Should I let the engine dry entirely before I start it ?
If you wash an engine bay as shown here. You won't have to think of starting it any more 😀
I would’ve let the dressing set a bit before wiping..I also would’ve pre treated and scrubbed and saved having to water down the motor twice...
Just 1 question. Can i just put water and soap on my engine? I didnt know it was safe. ( i really dont know SH-t about cars)
U r the best, elegant and perfect job.👍.
Loved it
Are you cover the Intake air surge when clean engine bay ?
I don’t think it’s necessary. Modern engine bays are designed to handle some water.
hello..! Doesn't it matter if the alternator gets wet?
Nice video . Is it possible to use the blower on a lower speed to spread the dressing just an idea. Thanks for uploading.
What about cleaning removing the plastic moulding and washing the engine?
You are awesome bro.
Great video.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Hi Vermjil ! Did you dilute the reset in 1:400? when I want to prepare my dilutions, I have 3 ml for 1.5 l is it possible? what dilution do you use to make the engine compartment?
What about the area under engine cover and lower half of the engine compartment
Obviously you can take this further, but sometimes you can only do so much depending on the time available and needs of the customer.
Nice...
Another great job done👏🏼
