Restore, Protect, and Impress — Where Performance Meets Presentation
Our Engine Bay Cleaning service is a meticulous process that revitalizes the heart of your vehicle by safely removing built-up dirt, oil, grime, and debris from your engine compartment. Whether you're getting ready for a car show, improving resale value, or just maintaining your investment, a clean engine bay not only looks impressive—it helps with performance monitoring, early leak detection, and longevity.
✅ Initial Inspection & Safety Precautions
- Inspection of engine bay to identify sensitive or aftermarket components (intakes, sensors, exposed wiring).
- Covering of critical electrical components, exposed filters, and air intakes with protective plastic or waterproof shields.
- Battery terminals and fuses double-checked for sealing and corrosion.
✅ Dry Debris Removal
- Use of compressed air and soft detailing brushes to remove loose leaves, dust, and surface dirt.
- Targeted agitation in hard-to-reach areas like under cowl panels and around strut towers.
✅ Degreasing & Breakdown of Built-Up Contaminants
- Application of a safe, non-caustic degreaser or all-purpose cleaner to the entire engine bay.
- Focus on oily areas, valve covers, engine blocks, hoses, and fluid reservoirs.
- Agitated with soft brushes and detailing swabs to break up stubborn grime and build up.
✅ Controlled Rinse or Steam Cleaning
- Low-pressure rinse (never high pressure) or steam-cleaning method to safely flush away loosened contaminants.
- Avoids water intrusion into sensitive electronics or components.
✅ Drying & Moisture Removal
- Thorough drying using microfiber towels and compressed air to remove moisture from crevices and electrical areas.
- Ensures no water is left behind that could cause corrosion or performance issues.
✅ Dressing & Protection
- Application of a heat-resistant dressing to plastic, rubber hoses, and engine covers.
- Restores colour and adds UV protection to prevent drying and cracking.
- Leaves a clean, satin finish — not greasy or overly shiny.
