Bath and Buff
Always love the way the Grigio color comes out after a thorough clean by detail service. Had my 2009 TSX done today a great shop in Richardson TX. Here's a few pics including a fantastic clean to engine. Feel like a new man as I drove it home tonight!

Do you have the sport rear bumper with a stock front and side? I kinda like it! Looking good man, so clean, i can see my reflection through the computer!

Looks great. Your detailer did an amazing job.
I had the rear sports bumper only for quite while and like the look. After installing the front lip spoiler/skirt from the UK though, have to install the OEM side skirts to balance things out.

LOL re reflection in computer!!! You are right on re aero sports bumper. Installed that myself a month or so ago. I like its look alot. So far, I have no heartburn with the lines of it along with standard front and standard side. In time, I may replace the front, but no plans yet.

buy some simple green and tire shine.
you can use any kind of degreaser.
but i like simple green.
mix simple green with correct parts of water.
Rinse, engine bay with water.
take diluted simple green with brush and brush over engine.
make sure you agitate the grease in hard to reach spots and crevices.
Spray engine with water hose.
now the degreaser will leave your black plastics and rubbers with a white residue.
this is where the tire shine comes into play.
it will leave the engine bay shiny and glossy

Very clean. Is that an FSTB you got on there? If so where'd you get it and how much did it run you if you mind me asking? Did it help cornering?

My ignorance, had to look up what a FSTB is. Discovered it is a Front Strut Tower Brace. Now that I know, I assume I do since that black bar running side to side at the back looks like one. Don't know for sure, since that is the way the car came from the dealer. Maybe some other more knowledgeable lads can chime in and help with the answer.

definitely looks like a FSTB to me. You got hooked up! And yes, as denwhat said, you could definitely eat off that engine bay

Yes it's "safe" but that needs to come with some caution. It's not wise to use high pressure (i.e. a pressure washer, wand attachment to a hose, etc) It's best to use a gentle flow, much like what comes out of the hose without any nozzle attached to it.
It's good practice to stay clear of, or take extra caution around major electrical components (fuse box, battery, etc) and also around the spark plugs and plug boots.
