J Tegeler Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Got a little bit of time to take my girlfriends car and clean the engine bay after 245,000 miles of driving. this thing was one nasty engine. -hosed off with a mist -full strength APC -boars hair brush everything -fender brush for way down in the engine -leaf blower dry then towel dry -SVRT on plastics and hoses. No In and Out spray used..whole thing took me about 30 minutes. 50/50 shot of SVRT
Relentless Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Well done. Gives me some motivation to get mine done since I've been putting off.
J Tegeler Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 thanks everyone! the car was bought new in 2003 and was drove back and forth from Tennessee and Iowa so that is where miles came from lol
pdisme Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 The clean-up is as amazing as 245,000 miles on a car; I can't imagine driving that much.
ssbusdrvr Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Wow One of our vehicles is a 110k Mini with a shameful engine compartment Haven't tried the All Purpose Cleaner yet. Now sold!!! Great job!
