Step 1
You should check to see if there is anything on your motor that is not suppose to get wet, like the distributor cap, so on.
-
Step 2
Be sure your vehicle is in the shade! Then Wet the whole vehicle, top to bottom. Keep the vehicle wet the whole time your doing this, because you don't want degreaser or the dirt that comes from your motor splashed all over the paint.
-
Step 3
Spray everything you can see in the engine compartment with the degreaser and then spray the underside of the hood. Do it in this order because the degreaser will drip all over you if you start on the hood.
-
Step 4
Begin the process of spraying everything you can see visibly and then aim the wand in all directions, walking around the vehicle from one fender to the next. Be sure that you are spraying the fenders and the windshield and the hood as you are cleaning to prevent the dirt from drying to the paint.
-
Step 5
Repeat until all the grease and dirt is off the motor, you can rub hard areas with a brush soaked in degreaser, dirt is usually harder to get off around the edges of the hood and the jambs.
-
Step 6
Wash and dry the vehicle, wipe the motor if you want. You can add dressing to the plastics for a more detailed look, any kind of plastic dressing will do fine. Be careful not to get it on the paint or on the belts.
