What do you use and how do you use it...anything goes....chemicals, water, plastic bags to keep opti dry?...how'd you do it..thanks Tony

 

I clean my engine bay very often. First, I'd remove all the dirt/junk with a wet rag. Let it dry, then wipe everything down with Armor All. This gives your engine bay a very nice showcar finish

 

I use tire foam...works great

 

Get a wet rag and go to town on it.

 

I use the wetrag method then use Goop Engine Bright, and rinse with a garden hose, of course keeping away from the usual electrical components.

 

do yourself a favor and do not run a pressure wash over your engine bay...if your opti is even slightly leaking you will get water in it, and if you happen to hit the opti directly, you may put enough pressure on a seal to start it leaking.

Considering there are people that drive over semi-deep puddles and fry their opti, I would be extremely wary of getting running water near my engine. I like the wet rag/armor all method personally

 

No problems with doin it so far?

 

I used to wash my engine with a garden hose and heavy cleaners. They spray it with WD-40 for the show look.. looks great...but after I messed my opti up using the water on it....I will no longer be doing that. Good luck with the power washer!!!!

 

same here before i learned to be wary of my opti i wouls pressure wash my engine and hit deep puddles at high speed to send flooms of water 20 feet into the air all the time... needless to say i stopped when i learned about my opti but never had any problems... stock opti 54k miles, 95 formula

 

I had already tried the pressure washer, ruined the OPTI..looking for a little safer method...the tire foam sounds great....that stuff cleans and shines at the same time right?...thanks for the info. Tony
