Engine Cleaning
Car Cleaning Guide
Always pick a woolen wash mitt where possible. The woolen wash mitt can help you avoid any scuffs to the exterior. The wool will also keep more water enabling you to shampoo your vehicle more effectively.
One important note is to wash your car by using a two-bucket technique. Bucket one will have a shampoo and water solution and bucket two will just hold water to rinse. Buckets guards are extremely useful. Dirt moves through them at the bottom of both buckets. This can stop you from moving the dirt back to your car while cleaning.
Purchase a good vehicle shampoo. Although you can save some money with "bargain brands", they lack the overall performance and defense paid for by top end products.
Microfibre or even PVA towels are best in relation to drying your car. It is best to finish the wash by rinsing your car with a good jet mist nozzle.
Polishing
To get rid of any minute imperfections that your car's paint may contain, we use polish. Polish does not harm the end result. Preferably, you want to have a fine polish, as it will offer a sleek, wet look once you're done. You may polish by hand, or you can make use of a buffer to do the task. Bear in mind, if you're working with a buffer you'll need to apply the polish on a slow setting applying overlapping actions.
Waxing
In order to finalise the finish, you'll use a wax. It helps keep the "recently polished" look to your car's paint. A top quality artificial wax can be used although the best results are with natural waxes, such as carnauba. Do not wax your head and tail lights since this will cause a glare.
Your Wheels and Tyres
Valeting your wheels and tyres should not be overlooked. Ensure you clean them properly with shampoo and water, but you will need it double the strength. Use a hard brush to take away as much dirt as you can. Tyre dressing will be used to finish the process.
The Engine
Cleaning your engine will require that you've got a quality engine degreaser, as well as a way of protecting vital devices and components during the process. Use a product to protect the engine after you have finished degreasing.
The Interior
You'll need some extra things for the vehicle's interior. A wet/dry vacuum is vital, along with vacuum attachments to enable you to clean inside tiny areas. You'll also need carpet shampoo to clean the dirt from the carpets and mats.
Cleaning the car's interior includes a few steps. If you start with the windows, you'll need to clean them using a glass cleaner and then buff them using a towel. Most of the different surfaces in your vehicle will have specific cleaners intended for them, like the plastic as well as vinyl.
Any stains in your car must be removed using a neutral cleaning soap combined with water. You can use a scrub brush and even a putty knife in a few instances to help.
Finally, if you have leather covers, you will need to clean it correctly. You can pick up some great leather cleaners and particular brushes for the job.

What Precautions should I take when Cleaning my cars engine?
Ive fixed an oil leak in my car and want to give it a good hose down and degrease the engine bay and engine. Its and fuel injected engine and I'm a bit worried about the electrics etc what steps should i take to avoid damage?
Cover all the areas water doesn't belong ie. fuse box, ignition, air intake, any wiring. Use as little water as possible. Spray lightly, use an engine degreaser and let it dwell for 5 minutes, agitate with a brush an old toothbrush works well in the tight areas. Lightly rinse it off. Go over the sensitive areas by hand using an old towel, spray degreaser on the towel and clean go back with another damp towel to rinse. Go back over it again if you need to. Dry it well with compressed air and an old towel water will puddle in the little crevices causing rust so go over it well.
