  • Simply Engine Detail on Mercury Grand Marquis

    Whats up everyone.

    Just wanted to share a quick post of an engine detail I did a couple months back. Just now getting around to posting the pictures.

    All i used was Megs Degreaser 5:1, MF and terry cloths, an old paint brush and tooth brush and a hose set on 'shower' for starters...then set it on 'mist' to rinse the degreaser off. Then dressed with Megs HyperDressing 2:1

    Heres a before:



    Kinda hasn't been done...ever lol

    Heres a close up of the center to really show the dirt:




    Thats what i like to call Arizona dust bunnies

    Heres an after shot when it was all finished up:



    I think she turned out quite nice

    Here's the close up:



    Thats what i call a sexy engine!

    With engines...even super heavy dust and light grease like this one isn't too hard to do...most of it will rise away fairly easily. The owner was funny...he was watching me spray the degreaser on and he said "I don't think thats enough, thats pretty dirty...i think you really need to lay it on there!". I told him it was a very strong degreaser and didnt need all that much...then the wind shifted and blew a whiff of it in his direction. He coughed a couple times and said "WOW that stuff really is strong!"...and went inside lol.

    Needless to say he was quite impressed when he saw how it turned out

    Heres a couple more before/afters





    There you have it. Hope you enjoy

          Nice job! That engine turned out really nice!

          I usually use a waterless/very little water method when it comes to engines. I just hate spraying water on an engine. Freaks me out a little.

            I TOTALLY understand that. I have a steam cleaner now and have been using it the past couple engine details...i dont have to pull out the plastic bags for all the electronic stuff. But the last one i had to pressure wash some areas cause it was SO freakin greasy in areas the steamer and my hand couldn't reach. It was like up against the firewall though so pretty safe area to spray...id just hit it fast and then pray the thing would start...so far i havent screwed up anyones ride lol *knocks on wood*

              I love Super Degreaser. I forget my Ratio I have mixed now but it takes off grime like it's no one's biz.

                Yeah on stuff like in the pictures of this detail...it wipes it out like its nothing. I don't do EXACT mixes down to the drop...i just fill mine in the area of 5:1 and it works really well..smell is super strong but what can you expect for DEGREASER right?
