Everyone worries about the car braking down when washing the engine but trust me everything is water proof to a certain point

[@PhOeNiXpIoLe]

Exactly, just don’t take a 3,000+ psi pressure washer to it and it’s fine, degreaser and garden hose does just fine.

[@FueledBy.Passion]

Love how he just goes to town spraying foam all over 😃 no fear. Many have tried this method and had bad results, not all cars are made the same. Some act up with water still lingering in some electrical components. Some, absolutely nothing. I've been using Simple Green for 35 years doing it the same way he sprayed the foam, then rinse thoroughly. I immediately hit it with an electric leaf blower and make sure it is very dry before you restart. Old school cars with distributors or those with mass air flow sensors that can get wet, cover with a Walmart bag or something like that. Connections, spray a dab of WD-40 and will help disperse moisture, just make sure your degreaser doesn't get on that spot. Wipe it down later if you like after blow drying. That's the way I've been doing it on classic Porsches, Toyota, Honda, and Classic GM cars.

I was looking for an older product by CD2 that no longer exists. This looks similar and pretty good. Thanks for the video. I need to spruce up the Charger SRT8 Super Bee!

[@thecodyproject950]

Yes sir I definitely recommend it! The degreaser is pretty powerful as well. I would honestly wash it off quicker than what I did.

[@genericdude6551]

Too bad he didn't start it up to show that everything was OK.

[@AzalofForossa]

Can of compressed air with the straw in the plug well and you'll blow all the water out and be fine. I've washed many engine bays with coil packs designed this way (straight up) and have never had issues.

I’ve been washing my 03 ram 5.7 engine once a year this way. 17 years later it looks sharp and corrosion free. Never oily or greasy. I only cover k&n open element filter with a plastic bag and hit everything with the high pressure washer. Worst thing ever happened was I forgot to remove the bag from intake and it collapsed my filter damaging it.👍👍👍

[@82_KID]

Do you have to let it dry between rinsing it and applying the Shine or no?

[@ega9831]

Awesome!

[@Jeremy_Hill_2020]

was thinking of doing this to my '96 Corolla but don't want water in the alternator, battery, etc since I never used that engine degreaser I also want to clean at least some parts of the engine bay including under the hood

[@smorgdonkey]

You can put a grocery bag or tuck a garbage bag in over your alternator. To do the hood, a couple of garbage bags over the entire engine bay and taped with something gentle like masking tape will work to catch any stray cleaner and your rinse water. Some people take the extra step of removing the battery and then electrical is 'out of the equation' while you clean - plus you can clean your battery tray area with the battery out.

[@bigtex2839]

Bad ass! Review F-11

[@Tahara-Aichi]

The only problem I found with that shine spray is that a few months later that clear coat starts to peel off

[@samoanperks4638]

So i bought one but really scare to try it on my engine... is there a part that should be covered or i can spray like literally the whole inside engine?? I’m sooo scared on these kinda things

[@thecodyproject950]

If you have a newer vehicle then just unplug the battery and avoid the alternator and electrical. Also avoid the windshield wiper fluid cap because it will take the ink off the emblems. Other than that you should be fine if you let it dry thoroughly after washing. It was 110 in the Texas summer when I did this. I seriously just cleaned everything and unplugged nothing. But it was dry in minutes. A year later my vehicle is still fine after using it multiple times. 😁

[@Misterdre2you]

Looks great. Any problems afterwards?

[@thecodyproject950]

No sir I have been doing this for years. Just let it dry out and your good.

[@cabininthewoods7326]

Did they say to get it all over battery and alternator and distributor!

[@ralphnabozny8494]

6,4 liter what a beast

[@Normalhowaboutyou]

The degreaser works very well however be aware that it can leave a toxic smell on your Engine. I thought I pressure washed my engine pretty good but boy does it smell and smoke. I’m going to give it another pressure washing to see what happens. Apparently and I do remember this as well at the toxic smell and smoke eventually burn off but I’ve never recalled it being this bad. Possibly because the car has 202,000 miles on it and I don’t think the prior owner ever cleaned it and it’s had its share of oil leaks.

[@antoniodelgado4939]

Does the smell go away over time? Cus I can smell some of the gunk coming thru the cab

I see you freely sprayed the shine on everything , it's okay to get on the engine? I want to clean my 2013 boss 302

[@dannydufresne1892]

It has an aluminum block

[@AzalofForossa]

@@dannydufresne1892 Use diluted simple green 50/50. All of the gunk degreasers are harsh on aluminum and will discolor it. They work great on grease and oil, but every time I've seen it used, it always has a bleaching effect to aluminum, making it have a that odd corroded look.

[@Abdullah-ig3on]

Which one is better? This one you already used or the heavy duty one ? I just want to clean my engine from burned oil and a little spots of steamy oil

[@thecodyproject950]

Either one should work! Buy the heavy duty one is more harsh on plastics. Just to keep in mind

This is what's confusing with these tutorials. He says "cover your alternator" - dude didn't cover anything and just started spraying. Pretty sure he sprayed his alternator with the foam. I can see the alternator down below its not covered. So what is the truth? Can it be hit with water and cleaners or can it not?

As I am very careful when adding fluids and if spilled , clean up , asap . Also , I stuff 1-2 mircorfiber towels into the air intake to prevent water from entering .

[@buchanansleeve7427]

Does that shine dry with no residue or does it collect dust after awhile?

[@thecodyproject950]

It dries and keeps a good shine for awhile and I live in the desert! 😁

[@zepp3lin]

The Foam or if use tire foam is ok on the engine even if you spray the alternator, it won't damage it. But the moment you spray water on it, I freaked out.

[@AzalofForossa]

You should never use tire foam on an engine bay, that shit is nasty and will make your engine bay much worse, all it does is move everything down and into cracks and crevices you'll never be able to clean out. But it'll make it look shiny temporarily, so if all you care about is making it look shiny for now, go ahead, it's like the old WD40 trick on paint, makes it pop and look great till it fades and it'll look much worse than it did before you applied the wd40. Also never wash an engine while it's running, I've sprayed open alternators many times and have never had issues, just let it drain out for a couple minutes before starting and it'll be like the water was never there.

There must be a way to clean the engine bay without worrying about messing up the electronics or plastic or whatever.

[@GarryBurgess]

I always used ZEP engine degreaser and pressure washed it all in cash wash including the hood and battery never had a problem.. It looks like new a decade later. I also cleaned the underside of the hood. Maybe I was lucky 2 or 3 dozen times, I don't know.

[@AzalofForossa]

If it's already fairly clean, you can just spray on detailing spray/stuff like 303 aerospace on all the plastics and buff with a microfiber to bring them back to a nice black finish, but for grease/oil spots you will want a degreaser, and you'll want to rinse it off/wipe it off with a damp towel, it's not good to let degreasers dry into things. Every engine is different, and if you spray a connection by accident it won't just spontaneously combust, you just don't want to be spraying directly into alternators, into spark plug wells (like coil packs), carburetors, or fuse boxes/computers. Put a bag on the alternator/carb/computer and you're pretty much good to go to just hose down an engine, but keep in mind where water will drain, on my 2004 mustang water will 100% drain into spark plug wells because of how the intake is designed, so get compressed air and blow out all the plug wells after rinsing and it's 100% good to go.

You really should have shown a longer and less chaotic video shot of the engine after the shine product dried.

[@69bobr]

I think it would be a good idea to do a little research on the chemicals in the product. Some are harmful to plastics over a short period, while others are toxic to the soil and water system. Wouldn't want to be handed a hefty fine because of the run off from, what used to be, a simple car wash in your own driveway. How about using dish washing liquid, through a foam cannon and letting it sit for 5 - 10 minutes, before washing it off? Anyone try that? "Beware of shiny objects" is something to keep in mind.

[@AzalofForossa]

I always use simple green as the all purpose cleaner of an engine bay, a good degreaser, and good all around cleaner for everything in an engine bay. Cuts through dried up grease and oil easily, and won't harm paint or plastics under the hood (simple green isn't good left undiluted on paint for extended periods of time, so I cut it 50/50 and it's still plenty powerful on grease and oil and gives me peace of mind that I can leave it a tiny bit longer on the entire engine bay to cut grease and oil without harming paint). Hose off thoroughly, then spray on 303 aerospace on everything and buff into all surfaces to bring back protection that simple green may have stripped.
