This may seem strange but does anyone ever Power Wash your Engine Bay. Mine looks unclean but not sure about jet washing.

What do you all think?
 
noooooooooooo

the bloke i use sprays some stuff on and just rinses it
never would power wash it
 
I use Autoglym machine de-greaser,it comes in a trigger bottle, spray it on, agitate with a small paintbrush
to get in the nooks and crannys, rinse off carefully with a hose pipe..

Elbow Grease.

What our engine bay's look like after a vist to PRD.

Wow, those engine bays are impressive, just wish I was a bit closer to you, your elbow grease is better than mine!! but too far
for a quick pop down.

I'll have a look for Autoglym machine de-greaser and give it a go.

Cheers for your help
 
TIP.. Use 100% acid free product's.
 
Thanks we remove /unclip as many part's as we can in the engine bay before we start to clean. 4 hour's in total.
 
You can power wash your engine, just at a low pressure (if your washer has variable pressure) and not directly into any electrics obviously.
I do mine regularly, using Megs super degreaser and agitate with a brush then a low pressure rinse. I dress all the plastic/rubber with autogleam.
Check out the detailing section on here, you will see all the pro's do it the same way.
 
Some / most detailer's will like you say use pressure washer's to speed up the detailing process and yes it work's a treat if the engine bay is dirty but for me it's all about detail. All the car's we do at PRD are treated the same regardless.
