What does everyone out there use to clean there engines and get them shiny looking. I use armorall but Have been told that High Gloss Tire Shines work good as well,,How about stuff like Power Spray?

I use whitewall cleaner to clean the engine - seems to do a better job than the engine degreasers available.

Not into the showy shiny look - even on tires - just want things looking clean without residues. But all personal preferences aside - don't know why ArmorAll, TireBlack, or any other product wouldn't work fine for a short term look.

I use the carwash cleaner or engine bright. To shine it i use a low shine armor all.

so what do you do just manually wipe everything clean or cover up the electronics and spray with water and cleaner..how exactly do you clean an engine

I go straight to my loocal tractor dealership,(i'm in montana) and have the engine tech steam all my crud off. follow up with a high temp clearcoat on anything that will take it!!! usually costs me a twenty.

i just go to the carwash and pressurewash with the soap cycle then rinse off. no wax or anything.but if you got alot of oil/grease/road grime you can buy the no heat easy off oven cleaner.trust me it works and costs less then the stuff you buy at the parts store.

I'm with you on the shiny tire thing, tires aren't meant to be shiny. They don't look shiny when you buy them new from the dealer, right? I have also seen a tire-shine product that has colors to match your vehicle. I think it is like metallic flakes in the tire-shine that gives it the color.

I've always used Simple Green, I mix it a little stronger that what it recommends. Spray it on and let it set for a few minutes but not to long you don't won't it to dry on there, then I just hose it off with a garden hose.

I have used Hondabrite (S100). It works pretty good just be sure to rinse very well.

Careful with the coil packs. If you hit these with a hard stream of water they will break. I just bought my '05 and the dealer had to replace one (around $80) because they cleaned the engine with a high pressure washer.They warned me ahead of time, just passing this bit of info along.
