Quick tip from me Jon ,once you are happy that the engine bay is clean enough,and you want it to stay that way,and to have some water protection,get yourself a tin of gt85 and with the engine nice and warm and dry spray the whole thing use the best part of the can on it leave it to heat soak and evaporate and there you have a clean but not sticky engine that has a coating of non stick PTFE your welcome.
Clean engine aids cooling by removing dirt you aid heat transfer. Whether it's noticed in day to day running is debatable, although a clean car always adds horsepower!
Elbow Grease is great for proper greasy stuff but for what you did just plain Flash floor cleaner is ideal (spray or brushed from a bowl), also you can rinse safely and effectively with a garden pump spray….
Smart engine bays are most always dusty, unless they've just been cleaned. Unfortunately the airflow under the air seems to carry grime up into the engine compartment, so keeping them clean requires frequent attention.
Fantastic Video 🧡🍊 Best thing to clean an engine with mate. Is of course the degreaser but a Stream cleaner is your best friend! As doesn’t get the engined soaked 😊🧼🫧 So less likely to water damage connections. And a steam cleaner also degreases its self as of the heat 😊

Don't forget to bring your dad out on the test drive as his funny and will have something good to say about it
Test drive has been filmed 😊 Dad's in the passenger seat 👍
Your braver than me with that hosepipe , Jon , but needs must it had to be done ... great job 👏 👍
I agree it's not ideal. But yes 😊
Great series of videos Jon and "dad" But what comes next when the wee car is finished?
I have 18 other cars that need TLC ready for the Summer season 😆

Great advice! Dad did the same of the R75 and it looked top banana! Will do that
GT 85?
Presumably not 850ml of Gin and Tonic?😂

Excellent 😃
No yelling here done it myself. 😂 Looks much cleaner 👍
😊👍 thanks
A job well done nice to see a clean engine especially when you have got to work on it I use gunk myself
Thanks 👍 it needs another going over but was so much better than all that dust!
I'm just glad to see you do work rather than beating on the old guy to do the work... hahaha
😂😂 I do sometimes muck in

Great tip!
cleanliest is next to godliness. As the saying goes. Cheers. 👍👍
Absolutely
Do you rate that "Elbow grease" cleaner? Seems very inexpensive compared to car-specific degreasers.
I certainly do!
my Smart's engine bay is dusty too ..... never been towed by a motorhome though. When can I bring mine round to yours? 😉😉
We're free all week 😂

I should have done that with my car for years but cba 😅
Here is your sign to go do it 😂😂
❤🎉
😊
I certainly don't think your bonkers😂
Made it look a bit better eh 😂
I just hit mine with simple green de greaser and hit it with the power washer.... DONE
I didn't want to jet wash stuff all in the interior but I agree on other cars jet wash is the way forward 😄
I would have been well away from the alternator
Aye. I was aiming to not get water in it ... Then got water all in it 😂 thankfully no harm done
Like
😁👍
You can do mine mate
Bring it over :)

Had a steam cleaner and tried it - didnt do much good :(
