sorry I forgot to add you should cover up also the alternator and put saran wrap also on the connectors.

But I didn't do that because I didn't spray close to the alternator or connectors or even the caps of the fluids. Also the battery is cover. So not that much water is going to get in there. I try adding the alternator being covered.

I really can't say its a great write up. There are still little things I need to add. I want to make this easy for anyone to do.

What the heck are you talking about? I even dump my used oil on the fence line to control my weeds... Bunch of Ecopussies.



One question for the OP; does the "engine Detailer" collect much dust? My drive way is 300 feet of crushed limestone and with the lack of rain we have had, the dust is horrible.

Great write up; I am too pu$$y to spray my engine bay with water; I just ended up using an APC and an extra concentrated ONR Mixture to clean the parts I could see. Dressed the black trim with Back to Black and sealed paint with Klasse AIO/SG. Will do the proper method soon though.
