Engine cleaning

[Murray86]

Hi folks,

I've been giving the car a good clean and started under the bonet. I'm looking looking to clean the plastic engine cover up a bit. Its a bit oily and greasy. Any suggestions/tips on the best method and products to use?

A good of the shelf solution is Autoglyms engine and machine cleaner, spray it on, agitate with a brush and wash off

....Do you know how that solution reacts when sprayed on carbonfibre?

Otherwise Back-to-Black is a good solution for black plastic and rubber parts.

TBH i have never tried it on CF, its quite mild so if washed off quick it should be OK, i would probably just use good old car shampoo on the Carbon myself just to be sure

....I just use Meg's Speed Detailer on my carbon bits. I'd probably mask the engine bay carbon from the Autoglyms spray just to be safe.

I now have an excuse to picture whore..

Get yourself some Autosmart G101 and some Finish, spray the g101 on wipe/agitate of then spray on the finish close the hood come back in a couple of hours nice engine bay easy and will not break the bank.

I use g101 and finish on the 360 and on my edition 30, previously used autoglym engine and machine cleaner. I prefer the g101 as its slightly stronger, depending on dilution obviously, and with the  autosmart finish its very impressive and takes little effort for great results.





Blatant pic whore!
