11 Years of Neglect

Many Detailers would at this Point use a pressure washer along with a heavy duty degreaser sprayed all over the engine bay whilst the engine still running, they mainly do it this way to cut down on time, not because it's a better form of cleaning as some would state. We do Not us pressure washers on engine's NEVER.
 

The Only equipment we need to clean the the Golf's engine bay

Still work in progress, will have a top mounted big turbo with polished housing soon and the block and head are a lot cleaner now I've had it chemically washed while being rebuilt.
