This is the process I use when washing and degreasing an engine before returning the vehicle to the customer after major engine work was preformed. This is not a proper method of engine washing and should not be followed as a guide. Pressure washing an engine is dangerous and should not be done unless you are willing and have the ability to fix and problem generated in the process. Ther

Hey man I got a question. I'm working on a 2010 GMC Acadia there's a power steering leak somewhere and I can't find it. I want to know if cleaning its engine bay would be a good idea to go further with finding the leak?
As a detailing fanatic and someone who ran a detailing business for 8 years. You did everything spot on really. Only thing i do different is i use a water based shine, spray it on while the engine is get, it will level out to a dark matte finish, no need to wipe down and no nasty silicone for the next mechanic! But the fact you wiped it down is the next best thing 🙂 Im now a mechanic, and for my own car, ill degrease it if need be, i wash the engine bay after a day at the beach ( its a 4×4), just foam it with car wash, then take it for a run and let it air dry, good enough for me.
She looks mint Clark!!
That definitely makes for a customer experience that makes a customer glad they chose you to have an expensive service done. That's the stuff that makes them brag to their friends!
Always get the throttle position sensor real wet. OK
Another Great video.
