The lazy man's guide to effectively cleaning the motorcar's engine bay

 

 

 

I bought some diesel added some in an old spray container then sprayed the engine compartment of the Myvi as well as the twin carburetor of the bobber. In the olden days, I remember the military and taxi drivers would add some diesel in a pail of water then wash the car with it because diesel washes away grit and dirt. Later, Mother-in-Law's Proton Tiara's engine gets diesel cleaned. I make sure I hose the diesel some 5 minutes or so off the engine to ensure that it doesn't soften the rubber components in the engine bay and it can and it will.
