thanks for the 'tip' on the exhaust tips. They were something I usually wash but just haven't give them the attention in the past they deserve........ took them off, shined them up and put back on......

Meguiar's Safe-D-Greaser to clean and CD2 Engine Detailer for dressing.

I'm so embarassed by the dark spot on the airbox. I'm hoping to get that fixed soon.

Do you just follow the directions on the can/bottle ? Hose off, or use a power washer at low pressure on a cold engine?

Please advise.

I basically use this procedure for cleaning my engine bay. The only exception being that I use Safe D-Greaser (diluted 5:1) instead of APC.

I recommend people keep pressure washers out of their engine bays. Not only can they do minor damage like remove stickers, but they can do major damage like ruin electronic components, the alternator, etc.
