Engine Cleaned
« on: 15 November 2011, 19:07 »
Engine Bay Cleaned and Detailed.
 
First Inspection






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


 



We used G101 and let dwell.

Parts need to be removed.







Using various brushes Hard and Soft we Got to work.



50/50
 






Nice and Clean




 


Detail
 
We used good quality Metal Polish to brighten thing's up

Thanks for the comments guy's . From start to finnish was about 10 hours over 2 days. I would say it's about 85% finished I would say about another 4-6 hours worth of work left.
