Engine Detailing, what do you all use?

a dry or moist basahan. the round platito-sized ones sold by the road hawks is fine.

I used those for the flat surfaces Doc, but unfortunately they won't be effective for all the little nooks and crannies of the engine.
Too many tubes and hoses underneath the cover.




Might go with a small brush usually meant for cleaning baby bottles, then a clean rag afterwards. A pistol cleaning kit would probably be good for the really tight corners and small spaces in between all of the fuel and electrical parts.

I'm more interested in the kind of cleansing chemicals that some of our fellow tsikoteers use, something effective but obviously not toxic or will make the plastic and rubber parts brittle and yet not sticky to dust and grime either.

Scotchgard for engines, if you will.
