Default Cleaning Engine/under Hood - How do I do it?
Can someone help me (or direct me) to how I would clean the engine, and under the hood. What do I need to cover, etc, etc. I would hate to damage my new 2.7T. Thanks in advance.

No hose? Come on, give her the hose. She loves it. She needs it.

Default I hope you mean "ArmorAll" as a generic term
because the real stuff is lousy. Use Meguiar's or Vinylex.

Scott, got a keyword? "Engine" doesn't produce anything useable.
