Default Sparkling engine bay

Hey hey hey. Today I finally decided to tackle my engine bay. It's my first time doing it so I was extra careful(don't want to break anything). Took me about 1.5 hrs to finish but I love the end result!!!!!

Product
Armor All all purpose cleaner/degreaser
CD2 engine detailer dressing
Brush

Sharing what I've accomplished

Where did you find the CD2? I thought it was discontinued some time ago.

yikes, i would take time to take out all the leafs as much as possible :/
i did one soaking spray initially and waited 15 minuts for the armorall to work down the dirt, then scrub it with a bristle brush, proceed to rinse (although armorall says just wipe off but there was tons of dirt), did a second spray down with the degreaser again just to make sure everything was clean, after the second spray i just wiped off with a rag. then i just sprayed the CD2 all over the engine bay, (yes spray it on EVERYTHING it will look really greasy at first but let it air dry for 20 min, then close the hood and drive around for about 15 min, for the dressing to cure).

hope this helps
