    Cleaning D3 engine bay

    hello Together,

    after a good couple of days off roading in the blue mountains I realized my
    my previously nice and clean engine bay and plastic covers don't look so shinny anymore and are rather dusty and muddy freckles everywhere.

    Does someone have suggestions how to clean it, I would think a gurney is not a good idea?

    Thanks

    Steve

    No a gurney is not a good idea, one thing you'll need to do is protect the module that sits beside the main battery, this can cause problems if it gets wet.

    Me, I would just use some CT18 and a light hose off and a brush.

    your last car got washed once before you sold it, this one gets an engine clean and exterior clean even whilst on holidays.

    ct18 does do a good job i agree.
