Nice video, lots of good info in there. I honestly don’t understand why people keep getting stressed about water in the engine bay. It does rain, and in fact it does absolutely pour in some states. I’m pretty sure Chevy did some thorough testing with water in the engine bay, and they probably used a lot more water than any of us are going to use.
@raywei1701 Жыл бұрын
GM did not say this engine bay is water proof, so there is risk overtime if water keeps going in. When there is risk , it is bad for car owners period. Your assumption is useless.

I'm a little surprised you are using a power washer to rinse but you learn something new every day. Just recently got my C8 and these are great tips, eventually, I'll fabricate some type of vent cover or layover to prevent excess water leakage. As a 20 year Submariner, we are pretty good at keeping water out of the people tank. 🙂
@c8rallydriver3 ай бұрын
GM already solved this. Open the trunk and wash everything. Designed to get wet. C8TrunkCover is the licensed Corvette accessory you’re looking for. Also you just foam and wash everything when washing the car and then use a blower - done. 10 minutes no touch. Even easier if engine bay and exterior is ceramic coated as you mentioned.

What power washer is that? I never use my power washer it would probably blow the paint off but yours looks awesome and easier to use. I guess if I was washing I wouldn’t spray directly at the vents but I know you were doing a demonstration. I wonder if the engine was cool could you lay some sort of plastic on top the engine to block some of the water

@jai yen yen Hello. I am sure that pressure washing your C7, & a C8 for that matter, is just fine. i just would NOT spray upward with any hose from the rear of the C8 and into the opening that exists for the sole purpose of dissipating heat from the engine. Why allow water to get into the engine compartment when one can spray from the top toward the back & minimze the entry of water?

@nbit692 жыл бұрын
No. If you stop and think about your regular cars... as you drive through the rain, the underside of your engine bay is fully exposed. In fact, most hoods don't have rubber seals of any kind. Most people don't notice because it's not being seen through a glass window. The C8 or any other car like it was designed to handle water with no issues

@leshawnbrown95604 жыл бұрын
First who washes their car by aiming water at the heat extractor. When your Driving in the rain, the water will be going down over the roof and extractor not forced up into it like you are doing. Second, have you seen the water test that GM puts the car through. It is much harsher and harder than what you will get from a rain storm or from washing your car. Third, you open the engine compartment up before drying or blowing the water off, so naturally it was going to spill into the engine compartment. With regards to the soap on the car, how much water does it take using a POWER WASHER to rinse a car off( again I am watching you spray the water into the extractor). If you washed it correctly, you would not have to use that big blower to dry the engine compart. As for he rest of the video, you did not show anything that was new to washing and cleaning a car.

Anyone who knows about cars would NEVER use a pressure washer. It will over time scratch the paint by blasting the dirt against the paint surface. Use low pressure home hose to remove loose dirt and then hand wash. I never in 11 years use anything but a hand wash on my C6 and it looked like it was fresh off the showroom floor.
