engine bay cleaning?

[my 9t9d]

i just did my engine bay and i used purple power and also got some wierd dry spots.. then i got some d2 engine detailer form autozone and that is the isshhh the best thing is that you spray it with the engine on and you dont need to rinse it off... its a great product and leaves the engine super clean...

I use power purple,usually with car on and i dont turn it off till im completly done and i wait about 20mins after to make sure everything is dried, and no i dont cover anything but i try not to let water pile up in any area. After engine is completly clean (i sometimes also scrub it with a stiff brush) and dry ill let engine cool down and ill lightly spray bay with WD40 and spray plenty on a rag and rug the whole engine/bay down with even coat of wd40 and engine stays clean and shiny.

Use at your own risk, ive heard from a fw people (not from this site) that wd40 on engine could cause fire, usually with big engines that get really hot thats why i use light coats just to be on safe side.

But what I was wondering is if it is safe on my anodized parts?

Also spray "Bleche White" onto all the rubber parts.
Its a super rubber/alluminum cleaner.
Reacts to hot water, but WEAR GLOVES unless you want to clean your fingerprints off.
I had that stuff on my hands for 15 mins and I was PEELING skin off my hand.
But they were hella clean Sometimes I use it to get the oil/grease off my hands if Im feeling lazy.

If you spray it onto things and barely rub it, you can watch crap just oooze out of it. Try it on your tires, it looks crazy!

I dont really wash my engine bay, its always clean from me constantly tweaking on it.

does anyone know a way to get the corrosion off my block and tranny and bassically everything aluminum under the hood. its getting to be all white and looks like shit..

easy just dump soda all over it and itll be gone quickly. then you have to deal with it being sticky. jk jk jk dont do that but id say get a wire brush scrap where ever the corrosion is and then take water and wipe it down. or you can use oven cleaner and spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it down with water.

id read the back of the label, it pissed me off.

written directly on the bottle:
DO NOT allow drying on surface being cleaned, rinse with water
DO NOT use on exterior car surfaces, glass, painted surfaces or wheel rims

I dont even want to try to use it, and I bought a whole gallon.

Yeah I read the back of the bottle to but I wasn't too worried. As long as you wash it off you will be fine. I think that the only way you could have negative side effects is if you sprayed a ton on and then didn't wash it off. I am just one of many of my friends that have cleaned their engine bays with purple power, and none of us have ever had problems.

Just make sure you are super thorough when you rinse and you should be fine. Also a little engine detailer should take care of any weird drying spots as I believe a few other people have pointed out.

And to the OP good job man that looks like a huge improvement
