Engine Bay Cleaned by Joe (Maximan190) Thanks!!!!!
I was never proud of going to a meet and opening my hood since it was dirty and grimy always. There was always somebody who made fun of it such as Joe (maximan190) and finally yesterday I went to his house and he pressure washed it for me.....all I can say is WOW!!!!!!. Lets just say now I am a proud owner of a clean VE engine bay. Here are some pics

All the electrical was covered Danny. Nothing electrical was wet in the process, thanks for the lookout though.

Looks good! I used non-diluted Simple Green and muscles to get my VG looking shiny again. Keeps the grime off so the engine doesn't get as hot.. not just for looks but for performance.
