xxericxx95 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi all, any ideas on how to detail clean the engine bay of a Ford Fiesta Flame and what cleaning chemicals to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Things needed; Plastic bags detailing brushes Degreaser All purpose cleaner Optional; snowfoam First of all Put plastic bags over; Alternator battery terminals Fuse box/relays Airbox intake Coil pack Any exposed electrical connectors or connections. Next; Spray a generous amount of All purpose cleaner all over the engine bay and leave to soak. Once its soaked in and began breaking down the dirt, spray again & then aggitate with the detailing brush. Once you've lifted all of the dirt, Spray a generous amount of Degreaser all over the engine bay & underside of the bonnet. Leave to soak in, then spray again and aggitate with a detailing brush. Now all the dirt is lifted from the surfaces, wash it away by spraying with a hose pipe. don't use a pressure washer when you're still starting out. Now the engine bay is clean, Dry it with a drying towel. Dress the trim with a trim dressing. Product recommendations; All purpose cleaner - Inspired automotive Wide Stance.

xxericxx95 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't have a hose btw, is there anything else I could use? Also, I plan on buying AG engine and machine cleaner, will this be okay?http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001AZE5WS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Purchase some Spray bottles with adjustable spray pattern (look at Gtechniq bottles for example) Don't bother paying Autoglym's prices. I never thought I'd say this, Got to the local garage or supermarket and purchase some Carplan Degreaser. Cheaper and in my opinion Much more effective.

xxericxx95 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 What sort of brush could I use if I don't have detailing brush or do I have to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You could use a paintbrush, although, a detailing brush will set you back £2 maximum on eBay www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
