I use the NoTouch (or such) tire shine. Comes out great!

 

I use a product called Hondabrite. It is a great all around cleaner/degreaser. It does not harm or mark your plastic and aluminum. It actually makes your aluminum look like new. It is made by the makers of S100. Don't know what S100 calls it when it is their label but the Hondabrite seems to be easier to get. Just go to your local Honda dealer. Probably a little cheaper as this stuff is not cheap to begin with. You just spray it on your engine while it is cool. Let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then just thoroughly rinse with a hose. I love the stuff. I started using it on my Turbo Buicks years ago and never found anything better since. I would recomend it to anyone.

 

wow that's clean !!!
Im sold, getting some this weekend!!

 

how much is that stuff? it looks just as clean as mine. it costs me about 8 bux of crap to get it lookin that clean and i never have to scrub on anything.

 

SG and pressure washer.

 

If I remember correctly, it cost me around $10.00 to $12.00 for a quart refill bottle. I usually get around 2-3 cleanings out of a quart. I probably use more than I have to though. If you clean your engine regularly, it will last longer. You won't need that much on each application. I am **** with my truck and go overkill with the stuff. The funny thing is that I had not cleaned the engine compartment for a while before I took those pictures. It was starting to get a little dirty in there. By the way, this stuff works good on wheels too.

 

I always just blast mine at the car wash.lol

 

Use meguiars natural shine...Makes it look SWEET. Anything that is a milky color will do, anything for dressing interiors will work on the motor plastic. Soap out of the bucket works great, also a little steam cleaner for the hard motor parts...

 

yeah it dulls paint, so don't get it anywhere near painted surfaces

 

i would just stay away from simle green all together IMO. everyone have a disclamer about the stuff. if you took a look at my dads accessories on his truck you would say to hell with simple green
