under the hood

anybody know an easy way to clean all the dirt and stuff off the engine/ hoses and everything else besides sitting there and scrubbin it?

just a hose will get most of it, but if it's grease and oil then you'll need a degreaser from your parts store, make sure the engine is warm, that helps too.

its like greesy oil dirt haha hmmm i will try to find some stuff and see what works best

PURPLE POWER works freaking awesome!!! i would say that my engine looks new but my power washer wasnt working so it didnt take all off that it could by using the hose.

The purple stuff does work wonders. I have had some success with Simple Green, and an STP Engine cleaner. The hardest part is covering all the electric wires and alternator.
