Default Noob Question

I want to clean my engine bay, i was planning on going with meguiar's safe d-greaser but i can't find it no where. So I'm going with meguiar's apc which should be fine cause my engine bay isn't really that dirty, now my question is do i need to dilute the apc and if someone can give me some instructions on how to this that would be so helpful I'm so confuse with this whole diluting thing. thanks for the help guys!

Using search will net you a lot of responses.

With that said, use Megs APC cut 3:1.

Here's a link to MikeyC's guide to detailing an engine bay:

also other engine detailing threads in our how-tos at the top of our board - on the road now so cannot get links for you, but maybe someone willl.
that apc is great stuff- it can be diluted or used full strength on nasty stuff.

If you type "engine" in the "Search this Forum" box, you will find a number of threads devoted to engine bay detailing:

Engine detailing links

Here's a helpful thread:

Engine Bay Detailing

You may find this article of mine, and especially the various comments, of some help, too:

Spring engine detail

Instead of warming up the engine even a little, though, I think that next time I will detail the engine cold. I found that the warm engine dried out the APC too quickly. There's also a safety consideration.
