Well as I have said before I'm always looking for new ideas. I'm curious to know how you guys clean an engine bay. First I remove battery, ziploc over battery cords, ziploc over distributor, ziploc over fusebox. Than I cover in engine gunk and power spray. After that I shine with armor all. Anyone have any better ways?

i pressure wash in all the cracks and even under the car.
i hate gunk..it stinks...What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

I detail at a Dealership, and what we use to shine up the engine is a Vinyl and Leather Cleaner... Im really not sure what brand it is... but I would think just any spray on Vinyl and Leather clean would work...-Chris
