Re: engine cleaning
Here's what I do:
-Spray a good degreaser (Exits, Simple Green, Greased Lightning, etc.) over entire dry and COOL engine.
-If engine is real dirty, get a small brush and scrub the bad areas.
-Rinse with garden hose-------NO PRESSURE WASHERS!!!
-If needed, soak with degreaser again and let it sit for 5 minutes or so. Rinse again.
-Be careful with the degreaser as overspray on your fenders will eat the wax away and you'll have to re-wax. Keep the fenders wet and rinse thoroughly.
Do this every time you wash your truck and your engine will stay clean. If you do it often enough, you can just soak it with degreaser and rinse without brushing. I then dry everything with an old bath towel. Don't use your good chamois or microfiber towels for this as you may pick up some grease or grit or something.
