Cleaning Engine Bay?

[zjc26138]

I have not found a Bronco specific engine bay cleaning video and wanted to see what everyone's approach was to cleaning it.

When I cleaned my Bronco sport I used simple green and towels. That process took over 2 hours, so I was hoping to find a method that wasn't as time consuming.

thanks for your help!

Instant engine cleaning. It will also clean the inside of the engine.

This also answers my question on how to watch the soft top.

Two hours on the engine bay?!? What is your end goal? Are you planning on entering your Bronco in a car show or just trying to knock the dirt and dust off? I have always just given my engine bays a 5 minute pressure wash after off-roading.

I was planning on a quick foam cannon spray followed by a clean water rinse...
Edit: Removed video link, @R.A.N.M.J. beat me too it.

End goal is just to have to clean, doesn't need to be show ready. Only reason I cleaned the Bronco Sport that long is in case the dealer checked it out during trade in.

dont over think it, most of the bay is sealed. I simply just hit my engine bays with the foam gun and let the soap do the work. always keep distance and never get close especially with pressure washers. after the soap has set for needed time simply spray off with water.

I usually do simple green or super clean. Super clean can do some weird shit to raw or anodized aluminum if you let it dry on it. I usually just spray the engine, couple wipes here and there on the flat spots, then power wash off at a distance. Then I make sure to flush the rest of the vehicle to get any over spray off.

Super clean is the best for tires imo if you just want the clean tire look. Keep it off the lugs.
