Cleaning your engine involves few steps which are as follows:
Materials you may need:
- Engine degreaser
- Plastic bags
- Rubber bands
- Detailing brushes
- Garden hose and nozzle
- Microfiber towels
- Air compressor or a vacuum
- Goggles and gloves for safety purposes.
Steps to clean your engine:
1. Engine Preparation: Ensure your engine is cold before you start cleaning to avoid injury.
2. Protect Electrical Components: Use plastic bags to cover alternators, electrical connectors, the fuse box, and any other sensitive electrical components to protect them from water.
3. Apply Degreaser: Spray a commercial degreaser on the surface of the engine. Try to reach all the areas, but be sure not to spray the degreaser on the carburetor if there is one.
4. Scrub: With a detailing brush, scrub areas covered with dirt or oil. Be gentle on hoses and wires to avoid damaging them.
5. Rinse: Rinse off the degreaser using a garden hose. Do not use a high-power washer, as it can damage electrical connections. Make sure the water doesn’t directly hit electrical components.
6. Dry: After rinsing, dry the engine using air compressor or a vacuum. This is to ensure that no water remains in any critical areas that could potentially damage your car.
7. Wipe down and Inspect: Wipe down the engine bay with a microfiber towel and inspect it to make sure it's completely dry and clean.
8. Apply a Protectant: Finally, consider applying an engine protectant. This leaves your engine with a good finish and protects it from future grime.
Remember, if you are not confident or skilled in doing this, it would be better to take your vehicle to a professional car detailer or service provider.

Yes, you can wash your engine bay, but it requires caution and preparation to prevent damage. Firstly, protect sensitive areas like electrical components and air intakes with plastic bags or waterproof covers. Use a gentle, low-pressure water source and apply a degreaser designed for engine bays. Use a soft brush to scrub away grime. Avoid high-pressure hoses that can force water into sensitive areas, potentially causing electrical issues or corrosion. After washing, let the engine dry thoroughly, ideally in a warm, well-ventilated area, before removing the protective covers. Some prefer to use compressed air to remove excess water. Regular cleaning can prevent rust and ensure your engine runs efficiently, but it's crucial to do it safely to avoid damaging delicate components.
