My engine bay in the focus looks like an oily slop job, mainly from sloppy oil changes done in my garage. I was wondering what method should be taken to clean that engine bay without destroying all the components under the hood.

In the transam I usualy put a shopping bag over my alternator, distributor and throttle body. Do these steps also apply for the focus before I go to town on it with a degreaser chased with a water spraydown?

I think I indirectly answered my own question by going to focushacks.

If there is anything else that someone can add to this it would be greatly apreciated.

Pressure washer & soap...







Here's my beater ( last fall ) before and after pics..




























I always love those pics...can beleive someone will let the engine bay become so dirty.. :angry:










I know there is still some rust but at least we can see the motor... :P

what parts did u have to cover with the preassure wash? (battery?)

I covered the Alternator and that was it... I sprayed the heck out of it... I'm ready to do it again after one winter of daily driving but it's not even close at what it was when I bought it...

...How.. the hell.. did you get it that dirty......

It costed me $3500.00 to get it like that... :P
It's my beater but yes I agree with you how can you do it ... :unsure:

Can we agree that was a good mod ? Does it look better or what... :lol:

Next time.... It wouldn't hurt to wrap up your MAF sensor, coil and fuse box.

ESPECIALLY if your blasting the piss out of it with a pressure washer! :blink:
