HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ENGINE - NO WATER NO SCRUBBING

Here I show how I have cleaned my car and truck engines for years. It requires no water, scrubbing, or heavy degreasers. Plus, it protects your belts and hoses.

[@AllAmericanMack]

I've done exactly what I show in the video for 20 years without any problems. I completely understand the concern about wanting to cover certain parts and think that if someone is not comfortable with the foam getting on them they should cover them. I've done this long enough now that I don't have any concerns with it getting on any parts which is why I don't cover anything.

[@adamlipscomb6459]

@@AllAmericanMack thank you for letting me know that helps me a lot And thank you for replying back to me. I want to make sure that I am clear. You were saying. I can spray that tire shine on the engine bay that includes batteries Alternator, and the fuse box are those going to be alright with out cover it?

[@AllAmericanMack]

Ok, don't use tire shine as those are a different product and are heavily silicone based, I specifically use Armor All brand Tire Foam because I've used other brands in the past and find they don't work as well. I'm not specifically saying you should spray those items just that I do and have never had any problems. I say this because suppose when you spray it you get some on the alternator and 3 months later the alternator goes out. You're going to think that the tire foam likely caused it, even if it didn't so that's why I don't say to just spray everything. However as I said earlier, I do spray everything and always have without any problems for 20 years so it's just not a concern for me.

[@LowThread_Z71]

You still using this method? How’s it working for you??

[@josephsolis3018]

I use this method on my 1997 Ford T-bird. Tried it by accident after I tried degreaser and low pressure water hose. This improved the look 100 % as the degreaser left a film and I didn't want to use high-pressure water on it. Looks like a new engine compartment as my regular mechanic was totally impressed.

[@AllAmericanMack]

The funny thing is so many people are quick to say this doesn't work without ever trying it. My old 2002 F150 engine looked almost brand new when I traded it in at 238k and 8 years old. I did this a few times a year with no problems at all.

[@Really2u]

Thank you and your son for his service. Your son and you preserve America. I support the green and the red proudly. Never thought of that.

[@MrRobuz]

Right on the mark. Years ago I used water to clean a Ford 2007 Escape engine and the water got into the sparkplug coils. There were 3 sparkplugs on the rear meaning you have to remove the intake manifold to replace. A very expensive repair tire foam may have saved me a ton of money.

[@AllAmericanMack]

I learned about the tire foam from a large dealership that I did work for almost twenty years ago. There were even less electronics on engines back then and they were still having problems with the water getting into places it shouldn't and causing problems.

[@peggyhaven3628]

Thank u I will do this. Wow. Tire foam. Looks great

[@Starkster50]

That's what I use and you can make under the vehicle look like new with it as well, it work's very well, people often ask me how I keep my 2007 Toyota Tacoma crew cab looking like new and that's the biggest secret. Thank your son for his service.

[@scrscr4942]

The dust will stick to the oily residue left behind from the tire shine he sprayed, for you, just wipe down with water, or wipe after the tire shine foam soaks (my preference)

[@johng6758]

You want a power washer and a degreaser ,this was liking put perfume on a pig.Its not cleaning anything just putting a shine too dirt.Trust me i have been detailing cars for over 20 years and i know what im talking about

Cool video but a bit misleading. You really didn't clean your engine, you basically hid the dirt with a film of greasy foam which attracts more dirt/dust ;-)

[@honghong3153]

[@andycarpenter5561]

It may make it look nicer but it also attracts more dust since the tire foam doesn't actually dry completely. So once you drive the vehicle road dust sticks to all the surfaces more, hence creating gunk and buildup that will in fact cause more issues than it’s worth. I suggest an Orange degreaser and plain water. Be sure to disconnect the battery.

[@tinamcgarrah7794]

I know the stuff dries on tires..it actually makes them look worse than never using the stuff at all, if you stop using it..Seems to dry them out and look a dullish Grey brown! I switched over to the Meguires tire gel, it really soaked it up for a few applications then it was a normal application from then on..
