How-To Tuesday: Clean the Unseen
So let’s say that you’re the type of Jeep owner that prefers to veer away from the asphalt and pavement. Maybe you were the one that petitioned for the “mud brown” paint option from the factory. Possibly you are someone who has considered investing heavily in the local car wash market, “just because.” If that’s you, or if you’re simply looking to take on a local weekend car show, getting your Jeep’s engine bay clean can appear daunting. It’s not.
As much as some people may tend to believe this, you should not simply lift the hood and go to town with a power washer or garden hose. I’m not going to sit here and say that I haven’t seen that done, I’m just saying I wouldn’t recommend it. There are a few steps that you can go through in order to not only clean the engine bay, but also to keep the engine safe at the same time.
