About our engine bay cleaning service

A dirty engine bay hides leaks, holds heat, and knocks real money off a trade-in appraisal. It's also the area most likely to be damaged by careless cleaning — a high-pressure blast into the wrong connector can create electrical problems that cost far more than the detail did.

We do it the slow way. Sensitive components get covered, degreaser is applied by hand and allowed to dwell, agitation is done with brushes, and rinsing is low-pressure and controlled. Then everything is dried and dressed with a satin, non-greasy finish.

What's included

Inside the Engine Bay Cleaning process

Component protection

Alternator, intake, fuse box and exposed connectors covered before any liquid is used.

Hand-applied degreasing

Dedicated degreaser with proper dwell time, agitated with brushes sized for tight spaces.

Low-pressure rinse

Controlled water volume, never a pressure washer aimed at electronics.

Forced-air drying

Compressed air pushes water out of crevices so nothing sits and corrodes.

Plastic and hose dressing

A satin, water-based dressing that restores color without an oily shine.

Leak inspection notes

If we spot a fresh leak or worn hose while cleaning, we'll show you a photo.
