Hello prime!
Time to pick your brains again.
I have a good deal of knowledge regarding the regular detailing of the exterior/interior parts of any car, you know, wash with 3 buckets, treat the paint like you would your skin, foam washes / wax every 4-6 months etc. But what about the engine bay?
On my 79 El Camino I usually do a low pressure wash on the engine bay with electronics wrapped, and use a small brush to get the good old Gen 1 small block grease off. Then i'll usually take a can of WD-40 and spray the entire bay down, do another light rinse, and the shine will usually last for 3-4 months depending on driving. I have been doing this for 10 years and the engine bay has always looked immaculate. WD-40 is also a water inhibitor / protector of metals.
Just wondering if anyone has tried something different with great, good, or bad results depending on what you have used. I am not a fan of engine degreasers as my personal experience with them has not been good (leaving marks, uneven cleanliness, worse after wash appearance) etc.
Just curious. Thanks!
