Do any of you actually read???

if you think you got water in your electrical connections just un plug them and spray them down with "water displacement 40" aka wd-40....i can't remember what the 40 means....

The only way I truly ever cleaned a bay right was with time, and lots of it.

I'd start with a soak using Simple Green max strength in a warm bay.

The rest.. rags/brushes and some quality time.

the best thing ive found for cleaning under the hood is a product called body pro, it can be purchased from napa auto parts comes in like a windex bottle or a jug and man does it worked cleaned a engine bay that hadnt been clean in 14 years and it was amazing, way better than engine degreaser

I'm a sales rep for Simple Green and The best thing to use to clean your bay is definitely Simple Green Crystal.. They use this stuff to clean the Subway trains in NYC, Tractor Trailers that drive across country.

I use simple green crystal on everything in my engine bay and it works good to get the rubber out from the fenders when you go to the track.

I donated a few things from Simple Green to the MD BBQ.

I like Simple Green, but you need to remind them to dilute it correctly. The full strength stuff on a painted surface or any metal surface has been known to leave stains especially if said surface is hot. I know I've done it before when I was young and dumb!

okay, ive always been curious about this. Why do people feel they need to cover their electrical components?? They are in the engine bay, they get wet when your driving in the rain. Every connector under the hood is weatherpacked, so why spend extra time making sure they wont get wet??? I can maybe understand if your using a pressure washer, but if your using a pressure washer to wash your car, maybe you shouldnt be washing your car.
