Title: Just for the record, engine bays can be detailed
Post by: skizot on July 26, 2009, 09:35:01 AM
I get a lot of people who doubt that my engine bay is as clean as some of my pictures say/show it is. To all the non believers, I say whatever...but seeing as I just got done doing a complete engine bay detail, I figured I would go ahead and post up a couple of pictures to show what a freshly detailed engine could look like and actually does look like.

I've said this to you before, and I'll say it again your engine bay is amazing.

It looks like everything in your compartment is new! I dont think mine can get like that, there's sand that's permanently attached to my tranny from beach trips and normal metal detoriation that products wont be able to bring back to new. It's by no means a northern engine bay but since we do get snow and what not....

Wow, that's so clean you can eat off of it. What did you use?

This (http://elitecm.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=422&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a) might be what he used/process.

Looks Great! I usually do a superficial cleaning when I wash my car, I am sure I could use much more.

Thanks for the link.

Ya I could use much more myself. I just do a basic wipe down and that's about it. It doesn't even come close to this engine bay.

Whoa. I need to detail my engine bay. I guess I'll wait until my v2 gets here and I'll do the detail the same day I install it. Awesome work as always!!

:mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  I agree!  When you guys paint the center mani cover that says honda, is there anything that must be replaced on re-install like a new gasket or such???

There is a gasket that should probably be raplaced. It is # 6 on the link below.

Just a quick update, I have a new favorite degreaser for the motor, P21S Total Auto Wash. I highly recommend this over any of the previous products I have used.
