Look what ive been up to today bit of a clean,Spot the difference
Ive been waiting for the nice weather to clean my engine,I was going to do it last week when i got to my car it poured down with rain,But today has just been right not to hot not to cold


This is the first time ive ever cleaned a engine so its not as good as others here,But like the saying practice Makes Perfect.I spent £70 on cleaning stuff so im not just going to give up,But its quite hard to clean the engine with no water hose,Its was a watering can job,I could of spent ages doing it but i ran out of time,I ran out of space on my camera so i couldn't take shots of the other side.

Well enough talk tell me what you prefer lol

Looks great, nice shine, I had a go at mine but not a deep clean like yours, its a bit worrying spraying water about and in the end i used a wet towel. Pleased when it started up again. I never trust water and electronics.
