Engine Detailed!

Eurocar Detail- That turned out nice! I bet you could kep it that way pretty easily now that it's all done, shouldn't take much over 30 min. as part of a maintenance wash.

Thanks all. It took 1.5 hours but because of setting the camera, holding the camera and you know.. otherwise I should have done it in about an hour. It is a very small engine bay. The engine looks like a Harley Davidson engine.. so small.

Accumulator, yes, it's been 2 months and I just rinse it with the pressure washer and the blower and it is back to how it looks on the video. I hate shiny stuff that keeps dust accumulating and making it harder to clean, but the CarPro PERL has done a good job.
 
Eurocar Detail- That's good to hear! I didn't realize that the PERL would work out that way, not retaining dust/etc., so you've schooled me on that product :D

Every time I spot some little something that's not right...a leak, a cracked wire, whatever...I think how it sure pays to have things nice and tidy. Side benefit is that Accumulatorette has no qualms about checking her A8's fluids as she doesn't get her hands dirty under the hood, that can be kinda important on the long trips she takes.

I really recommend PERL, it has been a bit less than 2 months and still looks protected.
 
Eurocar Detail- Ah, keep an eye on it, lets see how long it lasts.

My big "hmmmm, I dunno.." about the idea of using something like that is that I'll be cleaning/wiping everything down during each wash anyhow and my FastFinish (drying aid) seems to accomplish what I want all by itself. Now if somebody wants to school me on what I'm missing, I'm all ears!

Today is D day for my Fit to be detailed. I'll rinse and dry the engine bay so you can see how it looks after a rinse.
 
OK, cool, but it's always hard for me to tell how things are over the internet. I mean....I spend a fair amount of time messing around with lights/etc. inspecting every time I wash and I bet that most people would never know if I skipped 2/3 of it! Heh heh, I could save a bundle on swabs if I just didn't disassemble the covers on the Audis to get the out-of-sight areas. But see what *you* think after you're done and I'll go by your opinion.
