Cleaning engine bay

Post by Mookiez »

Just curious as to how you all were cleaning your engine bay? I've seen I've got some rust in the engine bay + some on the exhaust. Do you guys bother cleaning this stuff?

If you have rust go to supercheap auto and buy a scouring brush, a sml paintbrush and some rust converter...

scour the area with a wire brush then paint on some rust converter...

Just follow the instrustions and you'll be fine...

I went over every inch of my car with this stuff... its awesome... it reverses the oxidisation process...
