1.I must be blind or something...or maybe just crazy...

but where can i find a clay bar? is that the proper name for it? cause ive gone everywhere looking for that thing cause ive heard it works good...

2. How would you approach this bad boy
lets try keeping it cheap and simple for a noob to do

 

You can buy clay bar kits at any place like autozone or advanced auto.
For that engine, get some degreaser like orange power or simple green and start goin to town, that thing is gonna take some effort. Theres a writeup on here somewhere a few pages back

 

i live in canada...and i searched under car care and polishers and blah blah and couldnt find a clay bar....

 

Go to Canadian Tire in the autocare/wax section. They sell both Meguiars and Mothers clay bar kits for about $25.

Man, that engine bay is nasty. I wanna see pics after you're done.

 

o u will...u will

ya....

well...YOU KNOW WHAT!...*sweats*...

that tree on ur hood is nasty
(holy f@ck its gorgeous)

 

spray the engine with ALOT of Simple Green or any other degreaser..
wait a bout 5 min.. then with engine running spray then engine using the "mist" switch on your hose.. you might want to do it a couple of times on yours.
also make sure your engine is cold..

do that every six months and engine will be brand new all the time

 

I never understood how to clean the engine bay, would u remove the intake and cover the wires basically? I could see myself messing this up really bad but some advice would be sweet, thanks.

 

u dont even need to remove the intake. if u have an aftermarket just cover the filter with a grocery bag.. just dont spray one spot too long.. and keep the car running..and keep the engine running for 10 min after done spraying..

 

I reccomend the mothers bar over meguiars. I've used mother's and great results.

Why do you want the engine running?

 

cause just incase water sneaks in somewhere .. it doesnt build up.. the engine will just burn it off..

 

Don't spray hot metal with water...

 

Gunk foamy engine brite, and CD-2 rubber dressing afterwards. Don't wet the alternator, fuses, spark plugs, battery, air intake.
