Proper Engine Cleaning

    Cleaning under the hood is a task many people don't do mainly because they haven't been properly trained to do so. Follow the steps below to clean your engine like it's never been cleaned before! Never use solvent based cleaners on the engine. These can cause fires. Use caution when brushing around delicate engine parts and hoses. Always use protective eyewear when cleaning the engine area.
    STEP 1: REMOVE LEAVES & DEBRIS AROUND ENGINE COWLING AREA
    Open the hood and brush this area to remove the leaves and other debris.
    STEP 2: COOL THE ENTIRE ENGINE WITH RUNNING WATER
    Never apply cleaner to a hot engine. Use a garden hose with a sprayer to quickly cool the surface and knock off heavy dirt. Pressure washers can also be used.
    STEP 3: SPRAY THE ENGINE & UNDER THE HOOD
    Spray the engine with Pro C-55 Non-Corrosive Engine Degreaser, properly diluted. DO NOT use solvent based cleaners! Spray product from the front, the left side, and right side to cover all engine areas. This is called the "H" pattern of spraying. Don't forget to spray product under the hood. Keep Degreaser off painted surfaces.
    STEP 4: CAREFULLY AGITATE VISIBLE ENGINE PARTS & HOSES WITH A BRUSH
    Loosen the heavy dirt and grease with a brush. Use caution around delicate engine parts. Always wear protective eyewear.
    STEP 7: CAREFULLY RINSE THE ENGINE & UNDER THE HOOD.
    Use a garden hose and sprayer to rinse the product and dirt from the engine. Set the sprayer on a wide spray setting. Use the "H" pattern. Use extra caution when rinsing with pressure washers to avoid blowing off delicate parts, hoses, and over saturating the engine.
    STEP 8: DRESS THE ENGINE FOR A NEW SHINE (optional)
    To give your engine a new shine and blacken plastic and hoses, spray Pro S-92 Premo Dressing directly onto the engine. No need to dry the engine first. Premo Dressing will spread evenly.
