Engine Bay:

[ridingreiss16]

Need a little help, the guy we bought my truck from did not take care of the truck, starting yesterday I opened the hood and started cleaning up all the hanging wiring in the engine bay and what not. After I moved all of his rigged up wiring re-grounding things and what not, it looks a lot better. Now I need to take it to the car wash and spray all the dirt and grease off, what areas should I avoid, and also what is a good degreaser to use to get gunk gone? Thanks!

SUPER CLEAN in the purple bottle.... Works great, so does the MEAN GREEN... THE PURPLE SUPER CLEAN, you can actually see it work

And if the grease is really bad a putty knife/spoon works well getting the initial grease off.

What areas should I avoid when pressure washing the engine and stuff?

[TheBlueBomber]

Electrical stuff and the carburetor. I take aluminum foil and squeeze it around connectors and stuff just as a precaution.

I'm so glad you started this thread, because I'm about to do the same thing to my engine bay in my truck (I just pulled the engine).

I did the Purple power degreaser...let it set over nite, sprayed more in the morning, let it set a couple hours and then sprayed it again and then sprayed it with a pressure washer. I did it like that 2 days in a row

Get the marine clean from por 15. That stuff will cut through any grease. You can also take it to a steam cleaner and get it spotless (and not get all dirty doing it) for around 100 bucks.
