How To DEEP CLEAN Your Engine Bay

- In today video, Levi demonstrates his technique on how to properly clean an engine bay! It’s understandable that detailing an engine can be stressful, so we’re here to provide some guidance and product recommendations. Enjoy!
This Toyota Sequoia is in dire need of an engine bay transformation! With plenty of filth from off-roading, Levi heads straight for the pressure washer. In situations like these, it’s always important to understand the engine bay layout and avoid getting sensitive areas wet.
Levi utilized AWH from KCX (Alkali Wheel Cleaner) as his main APC and degreaser of choice. Paired with Magic Wheel Cleaner’s fallout removing abilities, this is a killer combo for dirt. The foam from the iK Foam Pro 2 allows the cleaner to dwell for long periods of time while things are agitated. Following a final rinse, the engine is transformed with KCX Motorplast (a TRC favorite).
As always we hope you enjoy the content! Did you learn anything new in today’s video? If so, let us know down in the comments!

Motor Plast is KCX's best product IMO. Not only it works fantastic, but it's amazing how long it keeps the engine clean.
HUGE transformation
As a first gen Tundra owner, I approve 👍 I also use DI water to help prevent electrical issues and dry with a Master Blaster, then let it sit for a while before starting to make sure any water is dried up.
Great video Levi! Though to be honest, I had my hopes up for an Engine Bay Blaster video! That tool is under rated as heck, IMO.
Beautiful! 🔥
It takes 2 minutes to cover fuse boxes, battery and any other equipment that looks suspect.
Thick grocery bags are very handy.
Nice to see a dirty car get nice and clean.
KC Mp is the jam! So good for efficiency.
Make sure you don't have any exposed aftermarket LED or HID harnesses. Some water got into the HID harness and it was shorting out due to moisture. Otherwise, covered the alternator and was fine.
❤❤❤❤
One more nice video as always! It would be great if you do a video of how to clean engine bays that are more complicated like mild hybrid vehicles with more electrical parts and an electric engine - generator among the thermal engine that it's more difficult to use pressure washer. Maybe show a way to clean engine bays too without pressure washer. Thanks in advance!
What MTM spray tip nozzle size are you using in this video?
Love the way MP looks and the fact that you don’t have to level it. How is the feel? Is it greasy? Or is it like PSS in that it gives a sheen but is dry to the touch? Thinking about dust attraction. Or rather avoiding it.
Motorplast has a dry to the touch feel once it has cured similar to PSS. Along with that there is no obvious dust attraction, most of us here at TRC use it on our own vehicles and have had 0 issues 👍
@@theragcompany thank you! I'll give it try. Great video as always!
What about APC diluted, or ONR, in one of your Ultra Air Blasters?
I'd be curious to try brake buster on older cars with that might be prone to rusting.
Another great choice! High alkaline and rust inhibitors!
KCX Mp lasts a good year on my daily driver. It’s wild 🔥
I saw that you had on a t-shirt that said Master Of Shine. Do you sell this t-shirt at The Rag Company.
There are a lot of electrical plugs in an engine bay, more so on newer vehicles. Do you worry about the high ph cleaners getting into the electrical plugs and starting corrosion?
I have a powder coated valve cover and fuel rail, and a polished aluminum intake manifold; is Mp safe for those surfaces (and will it look nice?) or should I avoid those areas?
MP is safe on those surfaces, however we would recommend you avoid the polished aluminum if possible for the best look.
No more follow-ups on the Diamond Ceramic coat? I'm assuming it failed?
Actually it’s holding up just fine! This vehicle takes all the dirt and grime. This video was solely to teach how to clean an engine. We will do an update soon probably in a future LIVE!
No engine blaster????
Power washing wngine bay freaks me out man. Just waiting for the car to not start or light up with check engine lights.
I prefer using a steamer !!
Looks amazing against that rusty ass front bumper!
Aren’t you concerned about electrical click connections and residual moisture from power washing?
Your engine bay will have plenty of moisture anytime you driven in the rain!
I would love to see all the water that came off that engine.
Other tools I may use are: Leaf Blower, Air compressor, tire foam & garden hose...
Who came from reddit 😂😂
Senior! What the hell happened to this truck! Even my work truck is cleaner than that!
The owner of this truck has outfitted it for heavy duty off-roaring, and it is the jam!
Why waste time with the IK? You already have the pressure washer out, just use a foam cannon for the APC.
I would pay someone to do this to my car. 😐
Way too much product of Motorolast.
Yeah half a bottle😮 way too much
Actually no,with Motorplast you can go a few sprays and that's it but better method is spray the whole thing down. Beacuse it seeps in connectors where water is and creates elastomeric bond wich makes them more waterproof than they were. It is a strange thing i know but that is why this product was in the making for almost 2.5years.
@@DinoGrahovicwe’re cleaning, not waterproofing. For the purposes of detailing, that was way too much.
For the purposes of selling more product…well.
@DinoGrahovic the stuff is ALREADY waterproof. It's the freaking engine bay, not your kids rear seat.
@@mikezupancic2182 I know,but another form of waterbarrier will not do you any harm. Going by LOGIC from these comments we also shouldn't put more than one coat of ceramic coating beacuse it's already protected.
That dirt was planted there by you guys! That shit doesn't just spray off like that after months and or years!! Come on!
😂😂
I was going to watch the video but as soon as you said "Pressure Washer" I stopped because that is the WORST thing to do to an engine bay especially in a modern computerized vehicle. You will damage many components but usually the damage isn't noticed until they fail, then your mechanic is confused by a nice shiny part not working. There are many cleaning experts who clean engine bays and state strongly, NEVER pressure wash an engine bay!
