300zx Engine Detail

[Hemin8r]

I got a call from a previous customer who wanted to have just his engine cleaned up a bit. He's been thinking about selling it and wanted it to be presentable.
The grease/oil was caked on pretty good and was a bit stubborn to remove. Although it's not 100% it came out good with just a few scrapes here and there on my hand. There's not much room to move your hand in and around the compartment.

I started out masking the fenders, windshield and front end with plastic to avoid any staining by the chemicals. I followed up by blowing out all the loose debri and dust with compressed air. I then covered up any electrical connections that needed to be covered up. With the help of some degreaser, multiple brushes and HD I cleaned her right up.

Nice job. I really love those cars. If your buddy decides to sell it now, he'll certainly get more money for it. A nicely detailed motor usually indicates a very well taken care of vehicle.

Engine looks great Jesse. That should bump the price lil bit more.

I saw a pair of ballast on the bay. Guess owner gave it a hid kit (lucky its using projectors - minimize glare) ..

Great job Jesse!

The engine compartment in my daughters Chevy Cobalt looks about that bad and I was thinking of detailing her car for her in the near future. I am a little worried about run off from the engine staining the asphalt ( our street was just repaved ). Is this a concern?

Thanks Tim, yes they are HID's. I love these lights. I have them on my car as well and it's a world of difference.

Thanks Mike, Well before we started on his car he had it on his nice clean driveway. I had him move it down near the street just in case it did drip. Surprisingly there were no stains or mess. You may want to put down a tarp or something underneath the car to keep it from making a mess. Another thing you can use is a pressurized gardeners sprayer instead of a water hose. You'll notice that you end up using up less water.
