very clean, mr.alcheng!

i think you can add another 7-10mm on the rear if you wanted to.

My engine bay is VERY DUSTY from 2 yrs in El Paso. What is the best way to wash an engine bay? Garden hose, pressure washer, steam?

kenchan · 05-30-2012, 11:49 AM

i would first try to vacuum as much as you can, and blow out the rest that you can't reach with your shop vac.

then use QD to clean. i dont like spraying water into my engine bay due to all the electronics. if you cover all the harness, etc you can spray it though.

i dust and clean my engine bay weekly.

I feel weird about this too, I see people doing it all the time though.

Man, be careful letting them work on your tire.

Mr.kenchan, long time no 'see'… lol

for the compliment, especially from you, the detailing guru

I was thinking about adding a 5mm on top of the 10mm, but the tech at the tires store told me it might cause some vibration issue, not sure about his input but yes, I am still thinking about changing it to a 15mm.

At dim sum place now……

Alcheng, was it a hot wax? Did you yank it off quick, or slow?
