    Detailed Engine Bay

    I was wondering , whether would it be good if we could compile all related engine-pictures into one thread.
    It would be easier for forumers / members to cross reference in the future.

    Anyway , this is my contribution.


    Car was a Honda Fit/Jazz '05.
    Never taken care off before.
    Clocked over 70k KMs

    Wash it down twice with APC (1:4)
    Dress it up with Hyper Dressing (1:1)

        You really cleaned up that engine bay. Looks great.

            Thanks for the kind words.

            Another engine which i help clean up.





            Notice the hose on the right hand side which is beside the battery?
            I am having some problems removing whatever it is sticking to it.
            Anyone have any advice?
            Will Super D or Safe D work?
            Thanks in advance.

              Great engine cleanup! I would try Safe Degreaser first.
