I was watching the Adam's polish instructional videos. He used Simple Green and used a hose to spray the engine bay.

My engine bay needs some cleaning. Can I spray the engine with a hose?
What do I need to cover up:Alternator, Coilpacks?

Can I use Simple Green to clean wheels?

It should be fairly quick..use a leaf blower to dry it.

Forget the leaf blower, it will force water where you don't want it to go

Water is not a good thing to be hosing around your engine bay and electronics. Plus it does just a so-so job. You still have to get it there and REALLY detail it to get it looking nice. To me it's like washing the outside of my car at a Spray-N-Wash with the soapy broom! Oh well.

Anyway, having said that, TIN FOIL is a great tool to use to seal off many of the electronics and oddly shaped areas you want to stay dry. It shapes/conforms easily and is water tight. Better than bags and ties. Heat resistant as well.

As far as Simple Green on wheels, please don't. I ruined a set of Audi Coupe GT Speedline wheels over the course of a year (a slow etching) with SG. It was developed as a tractor engine cleaner. Strong stuff.

Use a ph balanced cleaner or use a stronger acid based cleaner if your wheels are bad PER INSTRUCTIONS.

I just wipe down the engine compartment w/ a damp rag, and call it done!!

It's not like we're still driving MGs and Fiats that weep oil and coolant from every pore. It's just dust people!
