Hey Guys,

I plan to clean my engine bay this upcoming week, it could use some tlc! I would like to avoid using a hose or high pressure washer if possible to get some good results. I heard some bad stories about the way peoples car would run after using one of the above mentioned methods to clean the bay.

I was thinking it would be okay to use a fertilizer type sprayer filled with cleaning solvent, then follow up with a light spray of water from the bottle. I will cover up the vital components and connectors. I'm looking for some advise from people and the best way to go about cleaning things up. I plan to use Meguiar's Super Degreaser, the reviews are very good!

Any input would be very much appreciated!

Cheers,

-Rob

Seems strange about not using a pressure washer? I clean my engine and compartment every 2 months using a bio degradable cleaner.
Never a problem. I would suggest you don't force the spray nozzle a few inches from what your cleaning, but use common sense. (A rare commodity)
My engine and compartment sparkle. I don't use the sprayer on the under hood pad.
Everyone to their own opinion!
