[QUOTE="Don S, post: 1990996, member: 41049"] I've washed every engine compartment on every vehicle I've ever owned, I really like the 505 cleaner from Home Depot. It's a more powerful formula of 409. I spray everything under the hood, hitting the dirtiest spots a couple of times, wait a few minutes and rinse with a garden hose sprayer. Where people run into trouble is using a pressure washer. Once done, start it up and let the engine heat dry everything up. I worked for Los Angeles County for 35 years. The last ten years I had a take home County car. You were responsible for getting it to a County mechanic every 5K miles for service or they cut off your password for the County gas pumps. :( One of the mechanics I used spray the entire engine compartment with WD40 after he serviced it. It always looked nice but have no idea why he did it. He was actually one of the sharpest mechanics they had. [/QUOTE]
