Another great video, I usually include a engine detail with my detail jobs, for free, just to get that “WOW” factor from my customers, customer service is key in the detailing business and I believe this makes my work stand above my competitors.
Great idea!
Rich at Five-Three Detail Shop bad idea
@@TheDetailGeek How long did this take vs the 20 min version with your degreaser and running water?
This went from Engine Bay to Engine Bae.
Aadil Rhugbeer underrated comment
Hahaaaa
Bae def: Danish for sheep poop.
Aadil Rhugbeer best comment I’ve ever seennnnn 😂😂
That's fuggin fabulous.
This man is the kind of guy I'll have in and out so fast just cause he would give me the honor of working in such a clean and spotless engine WITHOUT USING WATER! This man knows what's up! Hopefully more people could be like him 🙏🏼
Well he did technically still use water
@@2354bill6 technically yes and more so because of the stream but I mean in the sense that its spot less but not drenching the engine in water. Ya get me? Safe for eléctrica but not skimping on cleaning force
You should detail one of those junk yard cars will be really satisfying
Sounds like a lot of work! 😜
nobody ever:
detail geek: *shows up to pull a part* can i clean one of your cars
Oh, I thought those monster disaster details were cars brought in from the junkyard. Noo, I have been there, those cars are in better conditions. 😆
I do this from time to time, as well as do mechanical repairs myself and see how much I can make just for fun. Usually profit margins are around $3000-$7000). I do a full rejuvenation of the exterior (wash, physical/chemical decontamination, cut, polish, coating of the paint and wheels). Complete overhaul of the interior (blowout, vacuum and dusting, cleaning all trim and seats, extraction, dressing). And finish up with fluid changes, new pads, drivetrain inspection and repair if need be, etc... Usually takes me about 3 days and I only ever do it if I can find 3 free days and a very good example of a car/truck that I know I can turn around. I want to say it’s a hobby and something I enjoy every once in a while, but also who would I be if I didn’t prove my worth every once in a while?
Do I own a car ? NO
Do I like watching Matt and mike’s videos ? YES
Why do I Watch them ? Well these videos are very relaxing ,fun to watch and I’ve learned a lot.
Thanks! 😊
I love cleaning and detailing my own car. You said it's relaxing watching them, so do I. I think it's relaxing and satisfying to detail my own car, as it is out all the time , no garage. I know people think I'm crazy, I like doing it.
I thought his name is Mitch. 💁🏼♀️
@@TwoHorses7Ducks it is
@@jayasmrmore3687 Mitch not Matt; Mike=Mitch 😀
Best thing about you detailing is that you dont overthink it at all. You do a great job with the knowledge and common sense you have. You show that anyone can do this. Rock on amigo. 🤙
Nice video! I have the same steam cleaner. One helpful tip is if you remove the black plastic tip (the one that is replaceable with brushes), you can then shoot steam at higher velocity and lower steam volume (less wet) more like a "steam pressure washer" to really work out stubborn gunk in tight areas... Let me know what you think... 👍
Great video! I’ve always taken precautions when pressure washing my engine bays, but this seems MUCH safer. Doing this from now on 💪🏼
I now do this every time prior to taking my car in for service and I feel like my mechanics and I have basically become homies immediately because of it. Highly recommend to y'all.
This video just got recommended to me. Meaning UA-cam is getting getting more searches and interests in engine bay cleaning. You should do another one of these videos soon, I think it'll be really successful and being a long time viewer I think it would be nice to show your vehicle again.
I bought one of those steamers. I work on Vehicles everyday.. They bring in cars with oil leaks. And most have more oil on the outside of the engine. Then there is oil in it..So I charge them just for cleaning that crap off. So I can see the leaks...Plus they can see the engine does not leak anymore. Once I'm done.
The machine paid for itself after the first 4 I did...
That’s 100% true. Mechanics who see a clean engine bay will do better work for many reasons - for respect, yes - but also for fear of having their work scrutinized by an educated owner who frequents their engine bay. Never let a mechanic try and screw you over
Just watched like all of your videos in 2 days, u should make more, they are so good
Thanks! And I’m working on it!
Thanks for the tips. Alway been weary of detailing my engine bay. My second car is a 1998 Honda Civic and it looks like the engine bay hasnt been cleanded since 98.
Maybe I'll send in some before and afters.
As a mechanic, I confirm what you said lol it’s so much more satisfying to work on an engine bay and shows the owner takes better care of it giving us more responsibility. Clean your engine bays people!
That's one of the best Meta Conversations I've seen on UA-cam... Well done.
I've only had my engine bay cleaned once -- it was steam cleaned, because when I went to go get an oil change.. whoever did it left the cap loose. The entire bay was covered in oil. I was shocked when I soon discovered it. And I was shocked at how new it all looked after I got it steam cleaned by a kind mechanic who hardly charged me at all for it.
I'm currently shopping around for my next car and while my last vehicle served me well (until it died for good) I'd like to take better care of whatever comes next. Great walkthrough here, I think I can handle this!
Man u make me want to go out and clean mine right now
I love my steamer and do. Ot know how I lived without one all of these years, I recently cleaned my wife’s interior and every time I get in am amazed at how clean it came out. Watching this because going do her engine bay this coming weekend
I want to clean my engine like this
Thank you for the sacrifice of the engine cleaning steps👍
As a 12v installer, that red power wire, draped across the engine bay, with no loom on it, is making my OCD rage.
I do love the videos though, good stuff
It wasn’t the corrosion ? Cause that’s more important
I just subscribed to Mitch just 2020 and seeing this 2019 vlog just made me realize how much the channel has changed, keep it up man
Awesome! By the way, if any of you got some oxidation like this on their positive or negative battery ports, a pre-mixed solution of water and baking soda should be able to fix it in no time. Keep your battery clean and dry!
Yep agreed - baking soda and water will take care of that no problem!
Oh and glad you made this video because I've cleaned my engine bay on my toyota tundra 2x and managed to screw something up by doing so. By using a degreaser and water hose. Granted I didn't douse the engine bay with water 💦 but I somehow managed to screw something up under the hood when I go to drive it the next day.
Really cracked me up when Mike showed up wearing the same clothes 😂
I understand that most people get scared of using running water 💦 modern cars are full off sensors and other sensitive parts I avoid that myself
I agree with you that mechanics will treat your car differently if your engine bay is clean
Thanks for your efforts it was a good lesson for me
Awesome, thanks for watching!
As a professional detailer, how did you let your truck get like that in the first place? Not saying this in a negative way. I’m not even a pro detailer and I make sure my wife’s MDX and my car stays clean. As soon as I get off work, I get right to it. Preventive maintenance goes a long way. Love your channel by the way👍🏼👍🏼
glad to see you put thought in the UV protection products selected for the area of the car that never sees sunlight.
:D
Reflected light!
Wow!!!!!
Steaming your car engine bay????
That's what's up!
Finally a solution I can do without harming your engine!!!
Thank you !
In the UK, I had a client who asked me if I pressure washed engine bays. At the time, my insurance didn't cover me, so I declined,but referred them to someone else who could at a little more cost. They went to the cheap, £2 'Hand Car Wash' round the corner ( known in the UK as Wash and Scratch) who just blasted the whole engine bay with their industrial pressure washer. Imagine how much I laughed when the local garage told me it was going to cost £1000s to repair the ruined engine!!!😂
So I just discovered your channel today and I’m addicted. Your videos are great quality and very descriptive including your tool and product use. Thank You
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I just found your video and its great. My question is where can I find a good Detailer? There are some Detailers that look real shady. What questions do you ask?
Some car washes I've been too will use their wash wands to clean without removing the battery and no chemicals. The more water the better.
With newer cars and all the electronics who can you trust to do a good job and no mess ups.
My car is a 2012 Audi 7 and it needs an engine detail, HELP.
I'm in So Cal
Thanks, Keep up the great work to keep us Car Geeks informed.
I’m so happy to see someone else thinks like I do! A clean engine bay is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video DG! I have been using this method for some time now. Always yields excellent results! Keep the content coming !
Thanks man!
Thank you, I was looking for a video that shows a proper way to clean the bay that doesn’t involve dousing the alternator with water. I’ll give it a go on my jeep
I use a strong degreaser like spray 9 commercial degreaser and a garden hose to clean the bottom of the engine and a rag for hard to clean grime. It’s great for getting all the oil from the bottom of the car to find oil leaks. My car had a trans leak which Got fixed but the bottom is covered in oil. Bunch of degreaser and pressure rinse later, she’s free of all grease and oil
I watched mr fix it and I thought that his approach to clean the engine bay was too much work and it involved a lot of intricacies, so I thought of using the steam cleaner that you recommended , I'm glad that I've seen your video , I got everything right but the UV protectant was missing , just ordered me one
LOOKS GREAT! I have a gen 4 prius & am considering using steam cleaner. My mechanics always enjoyed wrkn on my car BECAUSE its clean & parts are anti seized. I feel if ur engine is full of oil, its like frying an egg.😁
I watched a video on UA-cam showing the detailing of the engine compartment with McGuire’s tire spray foam. I tried and it works great with little to no effort. Stayed clean for along time.
taking care of your engine bay is like taking care of your body
you might not really look inside your body at all, but that doesnt mean its not important to keep it in good condition
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING when you pull the dipstick and they haven't changed the oil in 3 years and the timing chain is stretched like a pigs guts. This is JUST COSMETIC and MEANINGLESS. It's like keeping neat and clean while eating 20 donuts and 7 burgers a day with 2 gallons of softdrink. Most people with car knowledge realized his battery WAS FAILING with all the sulphate eating away at the terminal.
@@OffGridInvestor bro you okay?
One the top video on engine bay cleaning in my opinion!
Whoa, just saw that you put country specific product links! That’s pretty cool! Love the videos dude
Thanks John!!
I leaf blow it clean then use VLR cleaner by Mothers with dark yellow micro fiber towel to clean it. I use a long bristled 1 1/2 paint brush for the nooks and crannies.
LOL... Good Stuff as always. Production value on this one was top notch... even with Mike. Keep it up. #NoShoesNation.
Thanks Greg! You’re the first one to notice the flag, #NoShoesNation for life!
I don’t get the mike bit...
I use rain-x waterless wash for engine bay cleaning. Since you have a steam cleaner, you can remove the cabin air filter and run steam through your ac system effectively killing any musky smells/bacteria/fungi.
The most satisfying video that I have seen in a long time budd ! Please keep more videos coming. Imma try detailing my car now lol
Awesome man! Thanks for that, glad you enjoyed it!
I miss these older videos with Mike being a goofball and the videos where you had intros. Love your vids! 💕
Hi there. I just saw your video and at the end I saw your attempts at the intro. Making a successful UA-cam video is not that easy. Good job. Thank you for your time on showing us the process of detailing a car. Take care and God bless.
I keep my engine bays and underneath where the oil pans, transmissions, transfer cases, differentials, wheel wells, struts/shocks, and interior are spotless at all times. The same goes maintenance wise as well, using only premium products. The biggest reasons are -
1. If there is a leak, it can be spotted immediately.
2. Having a dirty engine and/or radiator is the equivalent of wearing a coat in the middle of summer.
3. Vehicles cost way too much to not care for them properly.
4. Confidence - Never know if/when I need to make a last minute trip and knowing either vehicle will get us there and back with almost no chance of mechanical/electrical incidents.
And "Yes" - Whenever a mechanic is involved (which is almost nil except for warranty reasons), they do treat my vehicles far better than anyone else's, every time, of which I am always grateful.
Keep writing these kind of comments on UA-cam videos. I can tell you have a lot wisdom to share with the UA-cam community. If only every UA-cam comment had numbered bullet points so the information could be more easily processed by us regular people who are missing your vast intelligence. Then one day maybe we too, may receive the level of service you get every time you are serviced!
Nice this is great information, I grew up in a mechanic shop and now have a speed shop of my own, I know a little about cars. Too many times i have seen guys pull up to the self car wash put a dollar in the machine on go to town in the engine bay with the pressure washer, motor still hot an all, my stomach turns every time i see it.
Lol this had me rolling 😂
Would you consider putting some outtakes in at the end of your videos? Lol
8:55 i can confirm as i am a mechanic 😂
Until you see that battery terminal covered in sulphate. I don't know if that perl is like armorall but I hate armorall.
Also a clean engine bay makes finding leaks easier.
Something to consider!
Fuck cleaning the engine compartment. Clean that battery terminal before it’s to late. SMH 🤦♂️
Another thing is replace your hood supports when they get weak. Mechanic friend told me if he works on a car that needs a board to hold up the hood because they can't spend $30 on a new set he isn't going to be as careful with the car because they don't seem to care much. Older car with good ones he likes.
I literally just cleaned my wife’s engine bay today came out too good . Wish I had the steamer would have made a big difference I’m sure
"Oh hey, there you are. Today we're gonna....*urrrghh*" 😂😂😂😂
I highly recommend a cleaner called swaz for greasy parts ! It’s really cheap , if doesn’t harm the alloy and it only needs 5 minutes to losen grease ! It’s a great product
Vacuuming the engine bay. Peculiar, but looks very effective. Nice
I know you said you weren’t going all out but meguiars ultimate black plastic restorer really helps for all of the hoses and intake plastics. It’s not a UV protectant but it works really well
As a mechanic, I can tell you with certainty that we enjoy working on cars that are clean both on the inside and in the engine bay 1000% more than cars that have been neglected.
Is it 100% safe to wash it with steam? For electronics and etc?
@@acrobatiqa Yeah, I typically just cover the battery with a plastic bag so that it can't get wet and everything else is pretty decently waterproof. Don't directly apply steam to any wires but most surfaces can stand it and will definitely get cleaner.
No way you like working on clean surfaces/areas rather than dirty greasy ones, I would have never guessed that
Love your videos. I'm going to have to pick up one of those steamers. Thanks for the heads up on the one you use.
Awesome! You really can’t go wrong with it...plus it’s a ton of fun to use 😄
I love the truck. The engine came out like it's brand new again. This clip really shows the special skills that not all detail people can do is clean and detail the engine carefully and cautiously. Thank you so very much for the engine clip of your own 2012 Ford F-150 truck. Thank you so very much for a wonderful detail clip. You are doing a fantastic job. Continue to do you and never let anyone take your thunder away because you are one of a kind, unique and special. You really made my day really good and lovely. Keep it up and continue with positive vibes. Love always Mitch. #LoveTheDetailGeek #LoveTheDetailGeek2 #2012FordF-150 #EngineBay #SatisfyingVideo 💖💖💖💖💖
Awesome video showing the steam cleaner in action on the engine bay!! I'm convinced I need one now lol
Absolutely! I should have bought one a long time ago, but for some reason I had it in my head they were super expensive...this McCulloch unit was only like $170 CAD on Amazon...and for how versatile it is....it’s a steal.
I liked the bloopers. 😂😂 I don’t know how u can keep a straight face.
Omg I had to double check to make sure I was watching your channel you sound so different in the beginning for some reason😂😂
Fo reals I was like "I thought I clicked on The Detail Geek" 😂😂
Hi Kekai
Could you do a detail of your personal vehicle? Thanks man I always enjoy watching your videos. The steam cleaner seems like a game changer
I do have an interior detail of our kid hauler planned, but otherwise I don’t let my truck get too dirty haha
Nice vid. *Why no link to that Pearl protectant?*
But , this was the best engine bay cleaning video as opposed to others who just opened the hood and sprayed everywhere. I like how you explained that we should first blow away or vacuum all the dust and dirt.
Removing the battery is a good touch also! Just doing those things alone made this video better than the others.
Awesome video!
Mike is a classic 😂 yeah McCullough steamer is a great buy good quality good job man 👍
Thanks man!
Yes you are absolutely right. I got a different kind of treatment from the mechanic when they saw my car's engine bay clean.
I know this is an old video and you don't have this truck anymore, but on the off chance that you or someone else reads this when you get corrosion like that on your positive battery cable it generally means that the voltage regulator in the alternator failed and is overcharging the battery where as corrosion on the negative terminal can either mean the battery is going bad or the alternator itself is not putting out enough voltage.... Either way just something to watch out for in the future. Keep up the good work.
that is an interesting technique you got there. Its the 1st time I've seen steam cleaning in an engine bay. I'm going to need to steal this :)
I thought you WEREN'T going for the showroom look? 😂
Good job with the detail! 👊😎
You need to fix that amp power wire. Make sure you put some loom on it and re route so the heat won’t affect it
4ga wire super thick insulator not much heat in the front, I'd say heat is the least of his worries lol.
TheMurphy05 I agree it looks terrible.
Fantastic video as usual, keep up the good work bro 👍🏻
Thanks man!
Mike should have his own channel.
Love, Love, Love your videos Mike ..... can you tell? Lol. You definitely need to make more, more often. I'm sure life can be hectic and busy buuuut ....
Wish I could but this little thing called a job keeps getting in the way 🤨
@@TheDetailGeek I definitely hear you bro! Nothing but respect.
WOW WHAT A GREAT DETAIL. REALLY LOVE THE LAST TOUCH OF THE PERL. CHEERS
Him:says How to clean Engine bay without water
Also Him: uses steam cleaner
Minecraft Pro Player pretty sure he said “running water”...
@@stephenvargas6134 look at the title
Lol technically it is was in a different form
Which has Running water lol
Semantics, steam is actually water vapor.
Keep doing your Videos Bro! I‘m really enjoing watching them! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Greetings from Vienna💪🏽
Excellent job. Very satisfying to watch. Although, I'm a little skeptical that one can do as good of a job without the steam cleaner. (checking out your purchasing links after I post this comment). And very glad to see you somewhat cleaned that corrosion on the positive battery terminal. Slap a little copper based anti-seize on there. Works great preventing future acid buildup.
You should have cleaned the acid build up on the positive terminal. The power cable is not good which goes from the passenger side to the driver side. Your details are awesome.
Favorite video yet, I’m a mechanic 😎
@4:40 same, i have conversations with myself while detailing too. 😭
Watched this video again. Well done my man well done. Always good content music and products used in your video. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you!
ChrisFix: Hold my beer
(No hate, good video Geek)
ChrisFix: I am going to polish and paint my engine bay~ ~~
And he did just that too
reaper asylum And did it proper! He’s the only front yard mechanic I’ll watch.
I can attest to the McCullough steam cleaner. It's awesome around the house... never thought about it for my engine bay. Going to do in now though!
I've watched a couple of your videos, but the exchange with Mike got you another subscriber. Keep up the good work. LMAO!
Another product that's really good to shine up the engine bay and also other plastics and rubbers is meguiar's black trim restorer
Your detailing videos are the best. I learn so much . . . Thanks!
TOP MARKS MATE👍👍👍
I’ve needed this video forever!!!
Great vid, Buddy. Helluva good clean you gave that thar truck engine.
Appreciate that list of equipment.
The big question is: How do you clean your Micro Fibre Towels....
Wash using tide and low temperature water. Never ever use hot water.
With more Micro Fibre Towels
There’s microfibre towel specific detergent, but it’s just mostly cleaned tossing them into the wash on cold. Avoiding your super dirty towels with less dirty drying towels, otherwise you’ll get bits in your good towels you use to dry your vehicle, scratching up your paint.
USe a free and clear detergent. do not allow any fabric softener. Use warm water for wash, add a splash of degreaser for really bad towels. As noted, keep paint towels separate from interior as well. tumble dry on low/delicates setting or air dry.
I guarantee you throw these towels away after usage ,and go ahead and get ready to open a brand new pack!
How do you manage time with detailing appointments, work, and personal time? I plan on starting my own detailing business as a side job and would really like to learn how to have time management. Keep up the great work bro! :)
That’s a very hard thing actually. I work full time, have a wife and 3 kids, go to the gym most days, and have to fit detailing and editing videos into an already busy life. I guess for me, though sometimes I fail at it, but it’s about setting certain times to do things...so I hit the gym in the morning before work, spend time with the family after work, and then edit when the kids go to bed. Doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for sleep, but that’s overrated anyways 😜
I hope you know that you’re doing an amazing job and if it is what you love then that’s all that matters. Keep up the great work
Try mixing 1/3 Perl 1/3 Reload and 1/3 distlled water, I dont know what it is but it lasts so much longer.
Is 303 ok with you having an open relationship? Is pearl worth it? 😂
We talked, she said as long as I don’t bring any others home she can handle it 😜
And it starts lol, cleaners hehe their tricky but worth it lol.
The Detail Geek 😂😂😂😂
Awesome detail of your own vehicle 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
Great video only person who did the whole bay area from top to the cowl area👍
How does a Detailer let his engine bay get that bad 😂 I love the Mike Cameos you should do one for every video it would be hilarious!
Who wants to go home and work lol
Barbaro Acosta I know the feeling trust me but what kind of man would I be if I have all this equipment and can’t put an hour into cleaning my own engine bay lol
There’s my truck! 😂👍🏼. Love the bloopers!
New to your channel. Great vids, fellow car nerd here from southern Arizona. I love using Maguire's Plastic X, works grrreat on headlights and taillights. Mr. Cleans magic erasers work wonders in auto cleaning.
Thanks Michael! I agree, the magic eraser definitely has a place in my tool aresenal!
