My engine area is VERY dirty. There's a lot of dust and grease all over the place and I found a spray can of degreaser in the storage room of my house. The instructions say to spray everything and then turn the car on and leave it on for 10 minutes. It then says to turn it off and spray the whole thing with water to get the stuff off. How effective is the degreasing thing? Will I see a huge difference? My main concern is spraying the whole thing... I don't think I should spray the whole engine compartment. Some parts must be covered up before I spray the thing... What parts must I cover up that shouldn't get sprayed with degreaser and/or water???
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED :-) --------------------  |

you'll get some smoking from the engine bay the first time you start it. the chemicals leave a resin film on the parts but it burns off (thats the smoke)
when i did it i let the car run for about an hour to let all the chemicals burn off. This post has been edited by Jdog1385: Mar 30, 2005 - 10:44 PM |
