Cleaned the engine

Yes, its not as clean as it could be, but I didnt want to fuck anything up so all I did was spray it all down with simple green, rub some shit down, spray it all down with water out of a spray bottle, and rub some shit down again.

After

You like rubbing stuff don't you? :D

What's that black box next to your washer fluid spout?

isnt it the cruise control?

I think that's the cruise control... my EX has one too.

i saw the body shop near me power washing the engine bay of this Altima, and i was wondering if thats bad or not. Because i have a power washer for my house, and if i can use it to clean my engine bay, sweet, i'll do it, because it looks like it needs to be cleaned! Oh, and i have a AEM CAI, so no water will get on my filter, h opefully, but i can just take that out before i start spraying......

holy shit ballz. wow. clean it a couple of more times and it will look even better :D

yes, that is cruise control ;)

I forgot he has a sedan. :bloated:

Cover up the dizzy, and be careful around the plugs, and it should be okay. That's what I do.

What should i cover it up with? should i put a towel on it? and should i tape it down or whatever? cause the power washer will blow it away and its got a lot of force on it.........

Glad I have all your guyses approval. Hopefully it starts, I havent even tried yet.

By the way, if anyone was wondering about the tablecloth in the after picture, its cause the sun was coming in from there and fucking up my picture

Nope, not at all

Run the engine

Do not use chemical on a hot engine

Pressure washers work the best

If a gargen hose is the only option lightly mist the surface

get the fenders wet & drape some wet towels to protect from cleaners

do not directly spray water or chemical on electrical componets/connections

do not use silcone based dressing

use water based dressing

i find a bong cleaning brush to be best in tight areas(4' long)
and a set of assorted cleaning/deatiling brushes

after cleaned mist everything under hood
then lighty spray water based dressing on the running (cool)engine
close hood & let sit for 15 minutes - leaving engine running

then go back & wipe down dressing & touch-up missed spots

dry & apply wax under hood, inner feneders, bumper, those kinds of places

just use care around electrical parts
if not comfortable pay $50 & let a pro do it // also if you pay a detail shop & something goes wrong, you dont have to pay for repairs, they do.

i have all kinds of detailing tips just ask
