Yup I use the same thing n my engine always come out clean, No mess either. You a good dad. Thank you your son for his service.
We both appreciate the kind words!
Ever have any engine or electrical problems??
Not in 20 years of using it.
@@AllAmericanMack I'll be trying it soon, thanks!

I use this method on my 1997 Ford T-bird. Tried it by accident after I tried degreaser and low pressure water hose. This improved the look 100 % as the degreaser left a film and I didn't want to use high-pressure water on it. Looks like a new engine compartment as my regular mechanic was totally impressed.
The funny thing is so many people are quick to say this doesn't work without ever trying it. My old 2002 F150 engine looked almost brand new when I traded it in at 238k and 8 years old. I did this a few times a year with no problems at all.
Thank you to your son for his service. Thank you to you & his mother for raising a kid willing to protect our country. 👊💪🇺🇸🗽
Thank you for the kind words! He's a great kid. He actually just got out of the army last month and has enlisted into the national guard. Super proud of him.
First: God speed to your son for a safe return and thank him for his service. Ive used this product on my tires for years and never thought about this cleaning job. Got try it . Thanks !!

I tried this and it works great. Detailed my truck and mustang and after two weeks still looks new. I tried it on my can am four wheeler and cleaned it as well.
i tried too and i even upload a video on youtube about it.. so far so good
You still using this method? How’s it working for you??
My Wife and I want to thank you son so very very much for his service. For what he is doing means the World to us.
Thank you for the kind words. I always pass these comments to him and we both greatly appreciate the support!
I always wondered why engines at dealers look great but are always "slick" so to speak. This is a great video my friend. Tell your son thank you as well. Without people like him this wouldn't matter. Thank you!
Thank you for your support!
You still using this method? How’s it working for you??
Thank you for sharing this with us all!! I have been searching for a method to avoid damaging the engine with water and even bought some more expensive brand stuff but had not started yet. This just solved my problem. I'll be careful with it to test it a few areas first Thank you very much for sharing this with us all!!!
Thanks for watching! I still like the tire foam method since it's easy and works good. I did an update video on it here. th-cam.com/video/oGsE2lo3QXw/w-d-xo.html. I also used a steamer in another video but it is a lot of work and of course you'll need a steamer. This is it. th-cam.com/video/UqGRMc3KsFM/w-d-xo.html
You still using this method? How’s it working for you??
@@AllAmericanMack oh, this just answered my last question, so please don´t mind into reply it, I just will watch both videos. Big hugs from Costa Rica!
Thank you and your son for his service. Your son and you preserve America. I support the green and the red proudly. Never thought of that. I have seen engine clean spray that does the same but you must spray with water. That's when the issues happen. Great job. Will use the tip. Plus small stuff wd40 could do. Great work. Thank you for preserving our freedoms. God bless.
After watching this video I tried this technique with minimal tyre spray so not to get any fluid on any electric contacts and just used some paper towels to wipe over the parts. It worked an absolute treat! Very happy.
After the wiping it down did it help to minimise attracting dust
Thank-you for making this video. I live in an apartment complex with strict rules about not working on your car. But I was able to use this method quickly and discretely, and it WORKED! I'm, a Very happy viewer! PS: it did not affect my engine running in any way. Although I did not spray the alternator or MAF sensor. Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great, Great idea! I hated covering all of the electrical system parts and praying that nothing went wrong. Your method just solved the problem and is much cheaper and faster! Hope your family, son and you are well!
@@joeishere500 I don't get it
I didn't see the guy cover with a plastic bag over the battery alternator and the fuse box
@@joeishere500 well, I don't want to do that.
I'll just cover it up
I've done exactly what I show in the video for 20 years without any problems. I completely understand the concern about wanting to cover certain parts and think that if someone is not comfortable with the foam getting on them they should cover them. I've done this long enough now that I don't have any concerns with it getting on any parts which is why I don't cover anything.
@@AllAmericanMack thank you for letting me know that helps me a lot
And thank you for replying back to me.
I want to make sure that I am clear.
You were saying. I can spray that tire shine on the engine bay that includes batteries Alternator, and the fuse box are those going to be alright with out cover it?
Ok, don't use tire shine as those are a different product and are heavily silicone based, I specifically use Armor All brand Tire Foam because I've used other brands in the past and find they don't work as well. I'm not specifically saying you should spray those items just that I do and have never had any problems. I say this because suppose when you spray it you get some on the alternator and 3 months later the alternator goes out. You're going to think that the tire foam likely caused it, even if it didn't so that's why I don't say to just spray everything. However as I said earlier, I do spray everything and always have without any problems for 20 years so it's just not a concern for me.
Great idea! I may do that next wash on my vehicles.
Right on the mark. Years ago I used water to clean a Ford 2007 Escape engine and the water got into the sparkplug coils. There were 3 sparkplugs on the rear meaning you have to remove the intake manifold to replace. A very expensive repair tire foam may have saved me a ton of money.
I learned about the tire foam from a large dealership that I did work for almost twenty years ago. There were even less electronics on engines back then and they were still having problems with the water getting into places it shouldn't and causing problems.
This seems to have solved my question on cleaning an engine effectively without using degreasers and or water/steam. After reading some of your replies to comments of concern, and after watching your updated video, I’m feeling confident to use this method. 👍
Salute to you Sir for this idea, and salute to your son for his service.
Main this one of the most educational vids on vehicle's that I have ever watch .thanks so much for the vid will try it .
Congratulations to your Son... I am a veteran... I am now retired; I have served 25 years of my life to this country in the US Army...I am proud of your Son to do what others don’t to keep ours country safe, I Encourage your son to finish his service and to do his very best to serve and to be proud of his sacrifice for all of us... God blessed and keep America free!
Thank you so much for the kind words, encouragement and for your own service! Right now he's on the fence about reenlisting. I am also very proud of him. If more young people served this great nation, we wouldn't have so many participating in the non-sense going on right now.
Gracias for your service padrino
Thanks, I have not washed my engine for 4 years because of the electronic stuff, great choice
That's what I use and you can make under the vehicle look like new with it as well, it work's very well, people often ask me how I keep my 2007 Toyota Tacoma crew cab looking like new and that's the biggest secret. Thank your son for his service.
I use it on the engine and in the wheel wells to finish off the clean look after I wash it. I've never never used it underneath but that'a a great idea. Thanks for watching and he appreciates all the support!
Wow that's what I like about you tube and people like you sharing brilliant ideas. Thumbs up Sir. Thank you.
Thanks to your son for his service. Thank you for posting this. I've used it for 5 years. No issues at all.
Great video
Thank you for the support and I will pass this along to him!
ill try to give this a shot.. thanks for the info. from the philippines
This is incredible! I'm trying this on every car I own from here on out.
You still using this method? How’s it working for you??
This is too awesome, I love it. So I know what I will be doing this weekend, the easy way. Came on here for the best way to clean my engine before selling my truck, and this is it.Thank you to your son for his service, mine has returned finally after 3 tours a few years back, and I know how stressful that can be. God bless him and you. Thank you again.
Thank you for the kind words, it means a lot to both him and I. Also thank your son for his service, much respect to those willing to sacrifice and serve their country!
Thank you and thank your son for the service to our Nation.
I love this tip, I going to use it all thru ma cars hun..🤝
💫💫💫✨✨💫💫💫💫
Thank you. I was not sure until I watched your follow-up video. I like a clean engine but don't have a giy to do this stuff or show me how to do this so I'm very grateful for the info. I live in the SW desert where sand and dirt prevails.
The dust will stick to the oily residue left behind from the tire shine he sprayed, for you, just wipe down with water, or wipe after the tire shine foam soaks (my preference)
You want a power washer and a degreaser ,this was liking put perfume on a pig.Its not cleaning anything just putting a shine too dirt.Trust me i have been detailing cars for over 20 years and i know what im talking about
This is great stuff! Some over spray covered some of the black plastic trim under the wipers on my 05 Honda and made it look brand new...so I used some on the rest of it, what a difference !!
Wow!!! Beautiful!!! To your son thank you for his service .
I used just regular amorall and a rag. Took longer but everything was clean and shining when I finished and I never changed my hoses or belts either. Looks good and allmit takes is a little time and effort. God Bless
I do mine with 303 others works even better and use half as much
@@aydentheninja877 sorry I am from Brasil. What is 303?
It's an aerospace protectant that's supposed to be really good. I've never used it but would definitely try it if I had some. It's available on amazon.
I a 303 lover .. I spray it on everything =)
Do not use this. Motor oil ok. Not this. Car will be a fire bomb in an accident. Read up.
That was a wonderful first take. All that is necessary? Is to reapply in the areas missed, excellent video, straight to the point. Thank you for your time. No flim-flam here.
I have to try this one time.
What a difference the cleaner made. Hand washing made it look a whole lot better.
Love this to clean your engine fast, quick and cheap. Thank you!
Thank you where can I get it in South Africa
I would try an auto parts store.
Been doing this for 28 years on my foxbody , it keeps all the wires, mounts, hoses from drying out and cracking, spray wax combo helps as well , keeps the grime build up low
Your son is awesome for joining up. Thank him . Great video
I like the fact that you spray the product Willy nilly over everything including wiring. That's everybody's concern. It just seems safe and simple. Just great!
Very nice approach to touchless bay cleaning ! Kudos to you and your cheerful sharing disposition Sir !
Simple and yet creative, thank you sir for that tip, and Respect for your son!!
Thank you from oman for this quite easy way of detailing the engine.
Also big thanks goes to your son for his service not just for USA but for all freedom of humans everywhere.
Will pray for his safe return to you.
Thank you so much!! It is greatly appreciated👍👍👍.
Thanks for sharing this video and thank you for your son's service, Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏾
Thank you for your support!👍👍
I've been doing that for years I love that new car look
Nice! Was afraid to try something like that. Thanks! Gonna try it today.
Thanks for the tip, makes sense, tires are rubber, as are belts and hoses and the polymer engine components. Will try this out on an old Ford CVPI high mileage gas guzzler.
Thank your son for his service!! I am going to try this..
THanks for sharing!! I'm on this! AhhhRooo to your son!!
Thank u I will do this. Wow. Tire foam. Looks great
Thank you for this tip I was very concern about using water 😯😊 will try asap
just tried this method today on my challenger, really works like the dude said. thanks bud saved me some serious coin.
Hey, great to hear it! So many people are quick to say it doesn't work when they have never even tried it. I always say this method will never beat a $200 hand engine detail but for what it ia, it works good. Thanks for letting me know it worked for you!
All I know to say God Bless these videos and every one that makes them i was a single mother and didn't know Anything about cars Until i started watching these videos machanics lie to me and take my money so thank u all because every little bit counts God Bless u all❤️
I never heard such a load of bollox!...it's like taking a shower with no water!
cleaning the engine means a detergent and power hose.
what yer- man is doing is shining up the parts on a clean engine!
Great thanks for the tip I’m getting ready to put my truck up for sale gonna give it a engine shine.
Nice
Awseome tip. To your son, Thank you for your service.
Yes. I have been using this for years!!! Works great
I am fascinated at the patience this man has with all these commenters asking the same question over and over and over and not reviewing the existing comments to see if their question has been answered already!
Thank you!👍
Neat idea of yours, greetings from Wales in the UK
Tried it and it works.
Hello from the USA👋 and thanks for watching! 👍👍
Wow, I expected you to hose it down afterwards. Cheers for a great tip.
Thanks for the video
I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla it’s dirty
But not that bad
Would this work or would I need to do other stuff to it
Thanks again
I've never had any problems with light to moderate dirt and grease. Maybe you could do a small section to see how it does and whether it might need additional degreasing.
@All American Mack. Thanks Mac
I’ll definitely try it
God bless
Thanks and same to you!
All American Mack can this safely work on Honda Accord engines
Thanks
I’m such a skeptic
Love this idea gonna try it. Everyday where I live in Trinidad I have to drive on dusty roads 1 1/2hrs each way to work when not wet if wet muddy roads. 👍
LOOKS GOOD.. GREAT IDEA!
I have used this for years and it works, a great way to improve the appearance of your engine compartment soecially if selling a car.
especially when it goes on sale
Will this stuff erode on certain portions? This is great I’m gonna try
@@AngieMusicArt never had a issue so far
Do not spray on alta Nader , he he
Is he any relationship to Ralph Nader?
I've been using Armor All foam for years on My Car/truck tires. S/N, I use Carpet Foam cleaner also to keep the shine lasting longer on tires. But I've got say, this is the BEST & Cheapest way to keep Your engine bays clean. I'm For Sure doing this to All My vehicles, Starting today!! Thanks for the Secret technique 👌🏾
this is a great way to clean all plastics too and yes we thank your son for his service i am a former LEO
Fanastic ,great water saver for Sydney as we are water shortage this summer
cheers
Thanks great info, This is formulated not to harm synthetic rubber used for tires, Hoses and plastise for cars, Going to use this than rinse it with very lite water spray ...👍
Looks really great I'm going to try it out myself thanks for the tip.👍
So what happen
Superb! I was about to clean the hood the old way, when the TH-cam algorithm brought me here!! Thanks this looked so cool and no sweat!!
Thanks for that.and I’m a vet 2.so thanks for your son serving his country and flag!
Thank you for your service also!
Thanks bro you just gave me a very practical idea.
I thought I was the only one who did this. I use it on all plastic parts on my car and it works amazing.
It does work good. I also use it inside my wheel wells after wsshing to really give my truck that clean look.
Is the product non flammable?
I don't believe the foam itself is flammable, only the propellant. I tried to light it on fire here --> th-cam.com/video/oGsE2lo3QXw/w-d-xo.html
I have same truck, I can hardly wait to try. Thanks
Did that great way to clean?
That's what I've been using and telling people about, as well! Easy work!
You have a great attitude. 👍
Thank you!! Appreciate you watching.
Wow that's awesome 👍👏 seriously work ( thank you) for this video
Tried it. Awesome results. Ty
I clean my engine with a heavy duty degreaser and power wash,after that I used a blower to dry the excess water off, it comes out perfectly fine, at the end I apply tire shine to make it look even shinier try it !!!
Great idea in cleaning the motor I was always wondering how people cleaned there engine and everything would be shiny. Great Viedo.
Damn I love TH-cam! Thanks for posting!
Man , whoever invented Utube is a genious...
great video thanks for taking the time to make it - I'm going to give it a go
Good job Daddio! I will definitely try this cleaner out. Thank your son for his service and god bless him and all your family! Thank you.
Thank you! It always means a lot to both him and I to see that support.👍👍👍
@@AllAmericanMack well i wrote those words with all of my heart! And since he is serving the best country in the world i ought to give him a great welcome when he comes back. Love you my son i have two of my sons as well so love you and thank you for your service! Come back home!
@@davidg7346 It was a double edged sword when he enlisted. I didn't want him to go, but knew serving his country was an important thing for both him and the country. It was a proud moment watching him and all the others graduate basic training. I forward him these comments because he appreciates the support of people like yourself. He is stationed in a city where there is a huge anti-military sentiment and was actually spit on at the airport on a trip home for his grandmothers funeral. So people like yourself who take the time to write words of encouragement and support really do mean a lot. Thank you again and God bless!!
Great idea gonna try that on my engine bay
Great video. Thank you. Good for your young fella - the army will teach him to look after his kit. Lol
Excellent tip,I like a clean engine area n with all the electronics powerwashing wash out,good job
Great idea buddy 👍👍👍thank you I sure will try it!!!
Thanks Bro for the TIPS hopefully this will work here in the Middle east.
Have you tried?
Thank you for posting this!! Although mine has never been cleaned because I didn't know how and it's taking a little bit of wiping. Now I know how to keep the next engine looking awesome!
Why does anybody have to clean the engine ?
No one *HAS* to clean their engine but there's nothing wrong if someone *wants* to clean it.
Wow, great idea!!! Never thought about using tire cleaner for cleaning under the hood! 🤔 Thanks for sharing this!!! ❤😁❤
Car will be on fire in an accident. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome car tip - thank you- keith-From San Francisco
Thanks for watching!👍👍
Great job. Thank you for sharing!
What a fantastic idea! I'll be using this method next time
Good job Mack! Carpet and car engines... You the man! Hope all is well down in LA.
Great tip, gonna try this for sure now, and thank you for your service sir!! 🇺🇸
Seems to be a great tip. Other comments say it works, even the military guy uses it on humvees. Thanks
Hope your son is doing well and thank you for his service
Yes sir, he's doing good. Has a year and a half left and not sure whether he will stay in or not. Thank you for your support!👍👍
Thats a hell of a good tip Thanks
That comment section.. "I'll try that on my xy car that has a this big engine with turbo". Yea. I'll try that on my Aston Martin DBX which is not even out yet. But I'll clean it tomorrow because this and your comments are making a perfect sense.
That it's great idea the motor looks nice and shiny good job my friend thank you
On my old truck with 238k miles, the engine looked fantastic from doing this. Never even changed any belts or hoses due to the tire foam keeping them from drying out.
@@AllAmericanMack I agree with that 100% nobody thought of that very smart
wally wally
What a great tip, thanks. Might save me about $80Aus that I was quoted! ✔👍🏼
Awesome! Thanks for the great idea!
Awesome, doing this on the weekend! Thanks
Thanks very much Sir. I have 562000 km on my car and never cleaned the engine. It is covered mostly in dust.No oil leaks.I have been wanting to clean it for years. This is too easy not to try.
Thank you !
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the idea. I will try it, I always wanted to clean my engines on my cars but I have no idea how to.
I payed 80$ for steam clean and it looked like shit thank you for this video glad it was on my recommended pages I did get my money back so I'll be buying this product and subscribing to your channel thanks 🙏🏽
I’ve always used super clean degreaser it makes it look brand new and doesn’t leave that oily armor all look. I use this method because if I have a leak I want to see where it’s coming from. Never heard of the tire foam thing until now lol. Looks good though
