Its good but I would use dilluted Simple Green to clean. And then to shine it up I would spray armor all all over the place and then drive around. THe result when you do that.








Mario's old 5.7:
Are those some new light covers Joe or is it just the angle?

I've used the 2-1 and like it but it didn't come out like Joe's engine! Joe, so you spray with simple green, let it soak then power wash it? After that do you then douse it in armor all then drive around?

I use that 2in1 stuff and love it. The "shine" part about it totally blows balls but the cleaning is fantastic and it can be used on warm engines!! That's what I love about it. I don't powerwash the engine though. I just use a hose with a gun set on "shower". I don't like that much powerful water to get into areas you don't want them to.:D I use the Armour All Natural Finish. It doens't leave everything greasy. It's water based vs. chemical based. Leaves a great look.:D

I get it at Advanced Auto. They usually only have like 1 row of it vs. 3 rows of the Reg. Armour All. Try it out if you can find it. It's good stuff.:D

So just cover the intake with like a garbage bag? Should i cover anything else like the battery or anything?

Joe could i use the Megs natural shine on the engine after the simple green? I just bought a bottle but it sorta comes out like a gel idk if that would work on the engine, but it sure works awesome on the interior!!
