Re: 740i engine Shampoo

Thanks guys. This is so simple i didn t know i needed to put description process.

Make sure the engige is lukewarm, not hot nor cold.

Things you have to be careful is the alternator, make sure you cover it.
Engine gets water when you rain so if you reproduce that you are ok, if you soak it too much you are in trouble.
So I wet the entire front end of the car so the degreaser wont make marks on windshield and paint. Pressure washer the engine as well to removee the dirt as much as possible.
Then apply degreaser on all parts where oil is, i did the hood too it was full of rust check.
Let sit for few minutes.
Rinse it off and reapply where needed, make sure you use as little water as possible.
Then with the mit for th wheels i clean everywhere, use brushes were it is hard to access with finger.
Rince it all

Pass the air to remove water or let it dry.

Apply the dressing, this car i let it sit for 2 hours the time i did a wax on another car.

Then with a rag remove the excess of dressing to give satin finsh, i even did all metal parts to uniform the look.

That is it, very simple to do. The newer engine with all the plastic clading are very good to make a drastic change.
