Detailing NEGLECTED 60,000 mile Mercedes C63 AMG engine bay on a budget!

[@CarThought]

When was the last time you detailed your engine bay?

[@abbilongman]

Never done mine, but I might give it a go now... i’m sure mine will be a lot dirtier though 😬

Did mine partially this summer (would not call it in-depth or over the top like some detailers on KZbin but good enough that people notice and give praise. Not really about that risking my alternator, battery and fuse box life lol. Used Surfex HD and that does a terrific job. That will tackle your issues with grease with absolute ease. That much I can guarantee you. Can use it around the house as well. Had some Atom Mac from BH which also helps prevent rust. Always useful on cars past a certain age. Worth doing on the bonnet and locks. Car pro Perl to finish the job as dressing also goes a long way. Those products are very versatile and highly rated. Don’t cost a crazy amount either as you can dilute them and use them for various areas of the car.

Ermmmm never 👀 Maybe my partner can do it for me now with the help of this video!

@@kellylongman4438 Piss easy to do. Not just done for your satisfaction. Might mean a mechanic treats the car well when it goes in if it looks nice. Would also mean doing your motorway checks is much easier.

[@CarThought]

That’s an interesting thought! I wonder if techs look at clean cars more favourably..?

[@OXOtwo]

You did a great job as usual. You inspire me and others to tackle these tasks on our own cars especially when we see the difference. I look forwards to your videos as I have done for a few years now.

Good job 👌🏾

Please bro 1-Are you recommending me to buy it ?? 2- I am really afraid from the engine problems specially that l am living in Yemen and there isn’t spare part or engineering who can fix it 🥲

[@CarThought]

I don’t recommend anyone to buy anything really.. Its quite a big financial commitment and you need to make that decision. If parts supply is a problem in your region then may not be the most sensible option if it is your only car. If it is a toy/weekend car like mine it doesn’t really matter if it’s broken for a long period of time as it’s not used as a primary method of transport.

@@CarThought But I want you to know that I will do all my best to maintain it ..like changing oil regularly and won’t rev it up when it’s cold … But after all what I did Am l going to face a engine problem. It’s my dream car since I was a kid and it will be my only day use car

[@CarThought]

To be honest if you are THAT worried about it breaking it’s probably not the best decision for you as it sounds like you may be in a situation where you can’t repair it and can’t afford to not have it running. Just my opinion obviously.

[@iskanderjaffer9432]

@@CarThought But what I want to know is the problems that they are talking about is found in every engine

[@CarThought]

@@iskanderjaffer9432 all cars break mate, unfortunately I can’t say which ones will and when. Best you can do is to make a smart purchase and budget for the car to break then you won’t be struggling when it does 👍
