Best way to shine your engine!!??

[sanioll]

You know I was all into these chemicals and still clean my engine every six months. You spray it on, and wash it off and it shines.

I heard from someone that steam cleaning is the only way to go. For extreme deep cleaning and shining easily, steam cleaning will do the job.

I wonder what will it do when you clean over the gaskets and stuff. steam is real hot. assuming the water inside the steam cleaner boils at 100 celcius at an ocean level, then steam will be the molecules that escape that are a bit higher temperatures. So Steam that is hitting your engine will be over 212 Farenheit. You can actually melt some gaskets.

any ideas?? anyone ever cleaned their engine with carpet steam cleaners??

p.s. so just grab mom's steam cleaner and shine your engine

I usually wet the engine bay down. Spray on some degreaser followed by the foamy citrus degreaser. Then follow it the 1500psi power washer. I don't recommend hitting any part of the harness, plugs, or distributor with the power washer or water in general. Its ok to get them with a little water on accident just no direct spraying.

212 Fahrenheit is how hot the air is under you hood when you're putting through traffic.

steam cleaning gives the best results without the use of chemicals. To get it done professionally cost about $150 in my area. But you can't argue with the results though.

You can go buy the Simoniz steam cleaner from the "As Seen on TV" store in alot of the malls. It costs $60 and is worth every penny. You can use it to clean up your engine bay, to clean up your interior, your seats, your carpet, and inside your house.
