No, I think he meant like THIS ;=)
Soapy water, Armorall, then wash again.

 

i think its the worst i dea to "spray down" your motor. Think about it, our cars are all electronically controlled. So if water gets into one small electrical conection that could cost you alot of money.

I say do it the old fashioned way; get some rubber gloves on, some terry cloths, palmolive/water, armorall(low gloss), Mothers Mag/aluminum polish, wet sanding paper,wax and elbow grease.
Start on one side of the engine bay and just try to litterally whipe down everything with soapy water then armorall (low gloss) or you can use thiss new stuff by Armorall "multipurpose auto cleaner" best stuff i think to clean up hoses and annything else under the hood.

Afterall, i must have done something right to get my motor that clean!!

Wow, you two (ny96maxse and Ravq) have the same car!

 

Almost. I think ny96maxse's engine bay is a bit more modded and cleaner than mine.

 

a little armor all on another...
and wipe clean with a clean rag
armor all on...
and you dont need to spray the engine bay..

 

RAVQ i just need the rest of my body kit and ill be happy as for the Type II wing ill have to look around some more

 

It's never-ending! Good luck finding the Type II. I'm glad I bought mine a long time ago.
