Engine Washing

damnedhoodlum · 03-06-2005, 10:07 AM

I just bought the P21s Total Wash so that I can clean my engine. Do you guys have any tips on washing engines??? I dont want to ruin any parts. From the directions of the bottle it seems like I just spray it on the engine and rinse it out with the hose. Then start up the car to aid the engine drying process. Is this recommended?

Make sure to cover the air filter if you got the Typhoon for example. A big ziplock bag and a rubber band will do the trick.

The P21S stuff is excellent, I use their wheel cleaner. You can use a high intensity water pressure, just be careful not to get too much water on the electricals.
