engine bay cleaning
 
any tips on the most effective approch on cleaning up the bay. is a low pressure sprayer alright or just lots of simple green and rags :c: mixed with alot of elbow grease

Did you ever tried Diesel and a rag?

We did it in the military -before it was prohibited by law for environment safety:

well i have plenty of that thats for sure ill have to give it a try. i was hoping i would be able to use the low pressure engine degreaser at a car wash without screwing stuff up

just let it soak in - start to clean the next day.
Just make sure to cover alternator and ECM, if you should use the pressure washer. It will save you some high dollars...

Spray everything down with degreaser... drive and get the motor warm... Park it, let it cool a little, and start spraying. Then I go in with a little tub of degreaser, and a hand brush, and just scrub the stuff that needs it... Then spray it down again.

If you can afford a couple cans, get Citrol. :rocking: If it can cut through this nasty crude we produce around here like a hot knife through butter, it'll surely clean an engine bay no sweat. :tu:

Check out my thread i have on the 95 for before and after pics :D Lotsa simple green/areosol engine degreaser, kerosene, brushes, scubbing pads and a couple of wrecked t-shirts. But its worth it!
