how do u guys keep'em so clean? seriously...how?

mine wuz sooo dirty once that the dealership "shampooed" it nice & clean for free.

but its dirty again.

imported_zc_hatch

you learn to shampoo it yourself then do it...

keep a rag in the trnk by the spare and put it over electronics in the enginebay and pressurewash it

Simple Green. Cover wiring harnesses, battery terminals.. and my shotty sub wire which has bad insulation. Then spray the engine over (make sure its cold first) with water just to wet it down. then spray the crap out of it with simple green. Let it sit for a minute or two.. spray off, instant cleanness. Then take clean rags and cleaner and go in and do the fine detailing as wanted. Thats what I do anyways. Simple green takes all the oil and stuff right out, makes it really clean.

WD - 40 works great on removing rustproofing , dirt and grime
to gain back the show room shine.

Once you have the shine back then your on easy street...

imported_Shazza

ok...so hang on...can u guys tell me EVERYTHING that needs to be covered up during washing.

and when u say spray with water...do u mean with a hose?

please excuse my ignorance. i juss dont wanna mess things up in there.

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

If ur really brave, u can try a 10min drive come back and try it on a hot engine. i do it myself, but a lot don't reccomend it.

imported_~ILLEST CIV~

Oh yah......hose that baby down like no other.

yup u use a hose. and not no girlie flower watering setting, use the jet spray. but when u go around vital areas ease up on it a bit

imported_gatherer

come to a meet and speaketh with Neil (Bond007) and he'll be able to run over the steps with you... you can even clean my engine bay for practice..

imported_Shazza

lol...me...a meet? again? but isnt once enuff? haha...we'll see. and as for cleaning ur engine bay...ure quite brave to be asking me for that favor...i'm the worlds biggest clutz.

btw guys...again, which r the parts that need to be covered?

imported_QRTR

your distributor..

redline_vtec

i just cleaned mine earlier this week and it came out spotless. Cover ur the distributor (very important), battery, fuse box (beside the battery), alarm horn, and harness.

Spray it down with water, spray on simple green, then hose it off. It works magic
