Just scrubbed it up with a little bit of soap and water! took a while to get the dirt and grime out of all of the little cracks though:crazy eyes:

As far as the engine cover goes, I've got a painting business and specialize in custom engine covers.

No. I just used a bucket of water. Used some compressed air to get the hard spots. works like a charm.

Wow! Looks really good! Too bad I don't live in Texas I'd have you do mine. Nice job.

Nope, no reason at all...thinking? Lol. I squirt my engine bay every time I wash my Jeep. Obviously not on full blast but after two years old it still looks as if it were two days old!

No soap, no cleaners. Just plain water to wash away debris.

AutoZone $2 for a can of engine spray, and rinse off. Not as nice as your, but fast!
