Washing Engine

[oldballs]

Once a year or so I actually hand wipe the engine and bay with various solvents such as kerosene or 409 cleaner. Usually add some spray on car wax to pretty up the hood etc. Never have used water from a hose nor pressure washer.. After most jobs I use compressed air to blow out the routine dust etc.

Cheers,
Mike

Some say NOT to use water on the radiator fins as it can drive dirt deeper and solidify it. They recommend only air to blow the fine dust out, then a gentle rinse.

i have bent some of the fins on my radiator by using a powerful nozzle.
