- Sat Oct 13, 2007 7:10 pm #26380 for best results do not use a steam cleaner...the steam cleaner has smaller water partials and they get into your electrical connections and cause corrosion. just buy a can of degreaser and use a pressure washer or hose...i learn that from detailing cars

- Sat Oct 13, 2007 7:52 pm #26382 What if your bay is SERIOUSLY dirty? I tried two shots of the degreaser, let the engine heat up, spray, let it sit, and then rinse and it barely made a dent. I think I'm gonna have to get in there and use some old fashioned elbow grease, along with some DW-40 or something especially on the underside of my hood

- Sat Oct 13, 2007 7:56 pm #26383 ok then doin sum cleaning 2 morro then haha might break out the autosol and the buffin wheel

dude your not supposed to let the engine heat up. the engine is supposed to be completely cold...then you use hot water

- Sat Oct 13, 2007 9:43 pm #26389 Hhmmm. I've always been told to let your engine run for a little while and heat up then apply the degreaser.

- Sat Oct 13, 2007 9:48 pm #26390 the engine degreaser that i use says to spray everything down, then apply the degreaser, let soak for like 20 min then wash it off...then the motor look brand new

- Sat Oct 13, 2007 9:54 pm #26394 Yeah right on the bottle it says to let it heat up for 5-10 mins, then spray, then let sit 20 minutes, then rinse.

- Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:29 pm #26398 I spose its just down to different types of degreaser

- Sun Oct 14, 2007 2:43 am #26411 I need a good car degreaser/bomb lol. My entire '93 could use a good tearing-apart-cleaning-and-putting-back-together. There's dirt in places that you wouldn't imagine dirt could get, whoever had it before me NEVER cleaned it

- Thu Oct 18, 2007 8:24 pm #26859 fitted my alloys finally

- Fri Oct 19, 2007 8:48 am #26899 i dont like the alloys, gloss black on a grey car doesnt really go IMO.

rest of the car looks uber clean though fella.

whats the plans for it?

94 civic sedan, got camber?

- Fri Oct 19, 2007 4:37 pm #26915 got alot of things ide like to do but main things at the minute are to get the windows tinted get a decent suspension set up on it and few other small styling bits n bobs then all performance really i want about 150- 160 bhp and ill be chuffed to bits

- Fri Oct 19, 2007 5:42 pm #26921 its cool i like it!
