My engine bay was by no means a mess, but I’m just not happy until I’ve got in about it myself.

Mainly just a good wipe down with a damp cloth and a brush to get the dirt out all the wee nooks and crannies. Finished off with 303 Aerospace Protectant which leaves a nice non-greasy satin finish. Sorry, I forgot to take a before pic.

Cheers guys. Engine bay is an area often neglected, but (in my mind anyway) I think if you look after it and give it a bit of love then it returns the favour. If you don’t agree with that... well... it’s still just nice to look at 8)

I’m with you on that one. Clean clothes are just a waste of time without clean pants! 8)
