2016 F10 550i xDrive Engine Bay Cleaning
First-ever attempt at cleaning an engine bay. It wasn't awfully filthy to begin with, but the results are not bad.
I vacuumed out as much dirt/leaves/crud as possible, and then ensured the water-sensitive, under-hood components (alternator, spark plugs, battery terminal, etc.) were covered. I used Super Clean (in the purple bottle) in a 1:4 mixture with water to hit the underside of the hood (tested small area first). Sprayed liberally, let sit a minute. Scrubbed with brush. Then I rinsed with soft spray of water - no pressure washer. Dried with shop vac blower and microfiber towels. Then I repeated on the exposed engine bay components. Dried everything off. Hit appropriate areas with Adams detailer spray - wiped clean. Voila! BR
