I have been contemplating cleaning my engine bay,but the fear of using water and cleaners in the area had me concerned. Well I finally did it, and the engine area is clean and shiny like new..........pic attached.

and polish the intake

What is "brake fluid" - can you explain me that i understand what you mean???

Thanks

Brake fluid: the hydraulic fluid used to make your deceleration system work.

If your serious, I recomend you have someone else do it.

Good job, so how did you proceed?

what steps did you take to wash the engine?I want to do the same to my benz

My procedure might sound a little crazy but this is what was done:

1) Used my Craftsman leaf blower/vac to blow out and clean the area
2) I sprayed P21S Total Auto Wash over the area and let it sit for 5 minutes
3) Rinsed the area thoroughly using a garden hose
4) Used the leaf/blower vac again to blowout excessive water
5) Wipe the area down
6) Spray Aeropsace 303 Protectant to cover the entire area and gently wipe it down for a clean shiny even spread

Here is a formal write up I had referenced: http://www.properautocare.com/howdoiclandd.html

Thanks ohlord.

Any recommendations on the polish I can use to shine up the intake ? I will have the brake fluid changed shortly.
