Engine bay cleaning

You'll find a surprising amount of sand and salt water build up in the engine bay, and we are again going to use our Dirty Times Wash for its salt and mineral dissolving properties. If you have heavy grease, mud or grime build up, you could also use our Down & Dirty cleaner.

Grab a Grey Twisted Little Sucker, Chubby brush, a Foursome Brush  and a small portable blower if you have one. It’s important to make sure the engine and any rubber hoses are cool to the touch before you start.

Begin coating the engine bay using the Dirty Times solution from the cannon, taking care to avoid intakes and exposed electricals. Some older 4WDs may need covering of intakes, distributors, alternators and spark plugs.

Once everything is coated, allow it to dwell for a few minutes, then scrub the flat open areas with the Chubby brush and the more intricate areas with your Foursome brush of choice. Then rinse thoroughly with low pressure from the hose, avoiding the same areas as before. Grab your blower and blast the water out of the nooks and crannies and then dry the rest of the engine bay down with a clean and dry Twisted Little Sucker cloth.
