Re: DIY Cleaning the engine compartment

hi,


i've always been afraid to spray the engine compartment with water, so umm... are you sure you can spray it with water? and not ruin anything.

sorry for asking, but im really afraid to do that lol

Don't use the fire hose force, just use a light misting and you won't have to worry about things getting too wet.

I wonder how that Meguairs clean works, they didn't release it in US for some reason, but love their products.
