Detailing An Enginebay

[MATCHBX]

Yeah. 3 rallies plus 9 rallycrosses and god knows how many road mileage checking in the woods days will get your engine quite dirty.

I still have some LSPR dirt under there.

I am looking to clean my car's engine bay is their any new products that are better then the ones listed 1+yrs ago: engine degreaser foamy bright and simple green?

Also I need to get grease off the interior carpeting & headliner any suggestions?

I would highly recommend Simple Green for most everything to start. Wax the engine bay of the car as well. That's about all I used, and you can see from my profile pic, I did quite well.

As for interior, I use some woolite product for cleaning the car matts, as they get pretty nasty in the winter. Works really good.

I wish it was the matts - the spots are on the carpeting & headliner. I had a greasy guy help me with some stuff and he left his mark.
Thank you very much!

Good luck - let me know if you need any help. I miss doing that stuff. My prizm is no where near as fun to detail. ;)

Use a engine cleaner degreaser instead of Simple Green, SG is corrosive to aluminum and can make it look bad in time. After cleaning/degreasing, there is this engine detailer stuff that comes in a black aerosol can that you just spray on everything and it leaves a nice and glossy finish that will last much longer than the Armor All type mixtures.

How would you clean the alternator. The alternator, steering pump side of my car is full of oil. The dip stick shot out and dumped oil. Would you use degreaser and then just lightly wash it with a garden hose?
