Engine degreaser. You can pick up a can for about $3 at an autoparts store.

I have done mine. Take plastic bags an cover all of the electrical components an belts. Spay it with mean green, put the water hose on mist an go over it. Then I take a plastic cleaner an wipe down all hard plastic parts an use spray detailer on the metal. I then start the engine to help it dry.

Black magic works good on hoses and other stuff under hood. If its not real greasy just use water + soap. Mine gets more dusty so I just wipe down once a week.

 

[1slosix]

that's why i like the f21...keeps the dust away longer

this is how my engine bay looked the other day after 2 weeks of daily driving after i wiped everything down by hand with f21 and a microfiber

[mustang17]

theres a couple different f21's im guessing you use the super protectant?

 

[AgentOrange]

I just used some F21 as a quick fix before I head to a HUGE car show tomorrow. We'll see how it looks in the sun with other Mustang around lol.

Yeah, green spray bottle. I should have taken a pic of the bay... it looked good!

 

[mustang17]

Sadly it won't. The show is huge and it attracts some serious cars. I entered because I'll already be there working for the sponsoring company, the entry is free, and I'll be parked with friends who will guard my car.
