How do I go about cleaning my engine? Is there a chemical that I can just spray on and rinse off leaving everything under the hood clean?

 

my friend uses a whole can of tire foam armoral and sprays the whole $hit down with it after he uses the engine degreaser and rinses that off... i dont suggest that, he is a dumbass and if you rinse your engine enough times with water you are gonna f^ck up something...he doesnt listen...i clean my engine everytime I wash my car, all I use is some good protectant like something better than armoral... I just spray it on a rag and wipe the whole thing down... It always looks nice and clean because the protectant kind of helps hide the dirt and stuff that gets in tha engine bay...I usually wipe all the hoses too, because it makes them last longer if they are protected too...I basically try to wipe down every thing that is reachable...Hope this helps, good luck...Shyne

 

So don't rinse it off alot? It's starting to get dirty and it is bugging the hell out of me but I don't want to burn anything out with the water.

 

Get a plastic bag and cover your battery and air filter if you have the aftermarket intake. Hose the engine bay with light water stream. If your engine has alot of grease/dirt, spray some degreaser at those spots and use a brush to clean of the area. After that, rince your engine and dry.

If your engine isn't that dirty and is just dusty, either use some armor all or no touch and start cleaning.
