Finally To Got Around To Cleaning Up My Engine Bay!

Well I finally took the time to clean my engine bay up a bit, for the last 3 months I've been trying to get around to doing that but just didn't have the motivation. But anyways, here are some pics....tell me what you guys think? By the way, I did it all by hand, but I'm not revealing what I used. Yeah I know...I really need to get the valve cover painted, or an engine swap.

Before:


After:

looks pretty good, but i don't think the products you used are soo special that you can't tell us, the biggest differences are all the plastics parts, sihit you can use Windex and it would look nice, anyways it's looking real nice, paint that cover and repost pics

Excellent job once again Tego
