The other half is a good all purpose cleaner with plastic shopping bags to cover your alternator and air intake if its exposed (or shove a wash rag in the open hole)

PLEASE NOTE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE HOT WHILE CLEANING


Tools needed

1) old towel

2) a hose

3) one SOFT brush

here are the products i use




here is a picture of the cleaner i use



a picture of the Engine Dressing - CD2 (can be found at AutoZone)



a picture of the soft brush i use



start by mixing 50/50 water and APC in a spray bottle





ok time to open your hood (before pic)





next please note where your alternator is - you do not want to blast this with water



now take your spray bottle mixed with 50/50 APC and water and soak all the parts you wish to clean (not the alternator) - -

One Note - APC will remove wax so take care not to spray your fenders or nose

next take your SOFT brush and agitate the areas where you sprayed

wait a minute or two

and then use a garden hose to remove the cleaner and the grime (make sure the hose is not at full force but rather very low pressure)

and then take an old towel and dry of the excess water

now you can spray CD-2 engine dressing over everything (i use a good coating)



wait ten minutes - (top speed up the drying process you can start the engine and close the hood for a few minutes )







if you have excess engine detail - simply take a napkin or rag and wipe the excess off

hope this helps - please feel free to critique
