Finally cleaned the engine bay (mostly 56k safe)

[Grand Moff Joseph]

Well, I finally had the time and the decent weather to really clean up the engine bay, so this marks the first real down and (very) dirty cleaning of my car's engine.

After:

 

More After:

 

Some of the few stains that remain seem to be either oxidation or caked on oil grime that will never go away (until I sandblast it that is). Any ideas on how to get that off?

wow your before looks like my after when i clean lol

 

what did you use??

 

and iwish ihad that black piece on the left hand side...makes the motor look so much cleaner

[Grand Moff Joseph]

A bottle of 409, brillo pad, toothbrush, and a power hose.

Simple green works wonders for me.

[Euro]

yeah simple green works ok..i havent tried using it with a brush though

 

 

but...for those plastic pieces around the engine bay...use some Back To Black or Trim Detailer...it makes it look sooo new!!

EuroSport94 - which black piece are you talking about that you don't have??? j/w...

 

 

Anyway, looks verty clean man....last time I cleaned my engine bay the black apint on the plenum came off lol

[Euro]

the long black piece where MY coolant tank would be....right below the left support brace

on the left side of the bay...in front of the strut tower

yeah that black thing was for 90's only. woohoo be jealous 91-94 Lumina owners lol j/k

 

 

Bleach-white works awesome as well as simple green. Then armorall afterwards. To get all the wires and stuff, spray the armorall onto a brush then go from there.
