Wonderful. I’ll give it a go this weekend as I plan to do this for customers cars also.

If you're preparing to do this on a early agaed car like 2003 years, make sure you're injector seals are in good nick so they don't let any water in the rocker, other than that it'll be fine, cars are subjected to moister all the time

It was nice to watch it, especially when I've seen "my" engine bay and engine itself in this video :-)

I bet this would work wonders on a motorcycle, our engines live out in the weather, and its always hard to get all the dirt and grime out of the small places.... and we get a lot more dirt and grime than car engine bays do i recon.. i specially like the last product that you just spary all over an leave to dry..! Always loved AutoGlym products..

I would keep water out of the engine bay. Most modern cars have many electrical connectors only requires one to get water in to give you issues. If it ain't broke don't fix it..

[peterrudy]

:25 I stuff as many microfiber towels as will fit, into the air intake to prevent water from getting inside . And I always remove the engine cover, foam rubber .

I have a Toyota Grande and can't get to anything to clean up, as its so compact. Had a valve gasket leak and the oil is still causing a real stink when using air con. Some engines just can't be cleaned at home.

I would stay away from the alternator, battery, and fuse box when washing the engine.

I know this is an old video, but I’ve been wanting to give this a go for a while; it bugs me every time I open the engine bay. I own a VW Golf Mk7 TDI and was always wondering if I needed to protect the electrics, but according to this, I should be okay, yes? Thanks.

I have done this on a few cars 10+ years ago! Not sure about now

[col]

Awesome . Forensic detailer are you watching this ?

[pcrate]

I live in USA, and I am interesting in buy that product, do you have any link?

[DjHECKTIK]

What’s the brand of the long black brush you use?

[koolkat]

Excellent demonstration. Nice and simple to follow. Can't seem to find the waterless cleaning video from the playlist. Does anyone have a link to it?

Hi Autoglym, is the engine & machine cleaner safe for tyres and wheels? I have been using it to clean mine in the last couple years, I always follow up with tyre dressing, and a light coat of wax on the wheels. Thanks.

What are the benefits of keeping the engine bay clean? Other than it looks better.

[superknightlol]

lol, my dad said to watch the car and he will give me 10 buck so i did. i just spray the engine bay with water and scrub using soapy sponge. the car runs fine.

[Themaskplague]

Once youve sprayed the engine with the cleaner and agitated it, instead of rinsing with a hose you could not just wipe off with a damp cloth and keep rinsing it? I know it would take longer but I’m a little paranoid about spraying water and getting it where it shouldn’t be

[yerrojumeharbabu]

Sensors are there in the engine. Ididn't understand. Why did u spray water in the Engine ? Are the Sensars are not damage? Sir.
