[QUOTE="Fireuz, post: 471789, member: 15565"] Thanks to initialM cause I'm dare to wash my engine since I'm reviewing his showroom. Just want to share few steps: 1) Clean the excessive grease or oil that you can observe using dry towel before wash, so that it will simply be washed off during the wash step. 2) If your OBD plug (OBD1) is in engine bay, please do cover it up atleast with plastic. We don't want it to be flooded. Also, take extra precaution to the electronics component that located in a separate compartment in the upper left- or right-hand corners of the engine bay, please keep those electronics box close tightly. Otherwise, keep water out of this area to reduce the possibility of damage to these vital engine components. 3) Just swing the water hose at the engine bay instead of pointing at one spot. If there have dirts that can't be removed, try to wipe it later on. 4) Try to avoid wash the engine when it's in hot condition. It will damage the sealing/rubber since those parts will expose to immediate temperature changes. 5) If you're not confident to do it, better don't do it. Just wipe the engine cover with a damp towel to clean off any dirt or dust. We just want to see the engine to looks cleans. Don't worry, clean engine nothing to do with it's performance:cool: 6) Good thing about to use the silicone wax (usually we put at tyre after wash the car) is that; the engine bay will look more shinning and bad thing it'll trap the dusts. So kalau nk enjin berkilat, rajin2la mengelap ye, kengkawan.. hehe I also will take opportunity to spray my engine bay using air jet to remove the dusts during servicing the car. Any other idea, let's share it together gether.. Happy cuci cuci and mngelap kengkawan~~!! [/QUOTE]
