  • 2008 xB engine detail

    The other day I took an hour or so and detailed the engine bay of my xB... It now has 40,000 miles on it, approaching it's third birthday. Looking good!




    I basically used APC on microfiber to clean most everything, then followed up with vinyl/rubber protectant on the plastic/hoses. I also cleaned the CAI tube with some of Meg's metal polish (forget exact name!)

    It feels so good to have a clean engine, even if you don't normally see it!

      Engine looks great. Hard to believe it is 3 years old.
      quality creates its own demand

          Thanks!

          Yeah, I try to keep up with it, especially during winter. Usually when I wash the car I will give a quick pass in the engine with APC and Vinyl/Rubber Protector.
