Engine Bay Cleaning

Steam Clean Your Engine? Here's Why. 

Preventing Component Damage & Fire Risk

​

Enhanced Component Longevity: Oil and grease accelerate the degradation of rubber and plastic parts (hoses, seals, and wire insulation). Regular cleaning extends the life of these expensive components.

​

Secure the Sensitives: Shield & Insulate

Disconnect the battery terminal and strategically cover all sensitive electronic components (alternator, fuse box, air intakes, exposed sensors) with plastic film and tape to protect against moisture intrusion.

Maintaining Vehicle Value

Higher Resale Value: A spotless engine bay suggests to a prospective buyer that the vehicle has been meticulously cared for, boosting their confidence and typically leading to a higher resale price. It's a key indicator of overall vehicle maintenance.

Vaporize the Grime: Degrease & Steam

Apply a mild, non-petroleum degreaser to heavy oil and grease areas. Follow immediately with pressurized, high-temperature steam to melt, lift, and safely flush away the contaminants, reaching all the engine's crevices.

Improved Engine Operation

Better Heat Dissipation: Heavy layers of dirt and grime act as an insulating blanket, trapping heat around the engine block. Removing this layer allows the engine to run cooler and more efficiently.

Revitalize the Bay: Dry, Dress, & Seal

Use compressed air to thoroughly dry the entire bay, focusing on electrical connections. Remove protective coverings, reconnect the battery, and apply an engine dressing to rubber and plastic parts to restore a rich, dark finish and prevent cracking.
