    Those cars that haven’t been washed in a long time and tons of brake dust build up from never being washed are the most satisfying transformations. Good work!

    These were the best C Classes Mercedes ever made. They feel rock solid and drive so well. My dad has this exact one with 320,000 kms on. The interior looks brand new and so does the exterior. It has aged so well. I've seen the newer C Classes with so much rattles and peeling interior bits. They don't make them like these anymore.

      I tried doing it on my 2016 C250 AMG and had bad experience lately, water went straight to plugs. I started experiencing weird acceleration and loss of power when I floor it. I diagnosed it only to find this code (P0302) which means the second plug was damaged with a bit of rust. I replaced all plugs, since then I’ll never attempt to wash the engine bay

    2) Will you wash with the engine surface which locates motor candles or not?

    • @Poorlybobsdad
      @Poorlybobsdad Год назад +23

      Imagine you are doing a long journey at high speed in wet conditions. All the spray will get into the engine bay. The components are designed to take it. Just avoid direct high pressure in the electrical connections and it’s good practice to block the air intake (he pushed a black cloth into one in the video). I do mine every few months. I like to spray GT86 on afterwards. 👍🏻

      It doesn't rain " ON AN ENGINE" WATER IS HITTING VERY HOT PARTS UNDER THE CAR -Like- CONTROL ARMS AND SWAY BARS AND ALL OTHER FRONT END PARTS.. NOT THE ENGINES alternator and "ECU"... Then again Its probably completely safe to spray distilled water or regular water on electric parts of the engine

      @Danielxperez14 11 месяцев назад +3

      I’ve been doing it for a while, just don’t spray directly onto electrical parts or put a microfiber towel over the electrical parts, wiping your engine down won’t get everything that’s why pressure washer is the best result just make sure to cover everything up and start your engine after you finish

    Job very painstakingly done. But I have a question. Wouldn't it be easier to hoist up the car on a 4 post or a hydraulic ramp and remove the wheels and wash both sides of the wheel rim and wheel wells and also do the bottom of the car as well? I find it interesting that all of you start from below and go upwards. The Maruti Suzuki owners manual says wash form above down and the service centers follow it.

      Not needed so nothing happens to the battery if it gets wet or in contact with any cleaners on modern cars. If you got an older car wich has any open air filters cover them up before so that they don´t get wet or in contact with any cleaners. Also be careful not to flood the alternator and the spark plugs if there are no engine cover and be careful with the engine belt. ^^
      There are also diffrent methods to clean your engine bay. It isn´t always necessary to "flood" the whole engine bay with water. If you are afraid you can just use spray bottles or pump sprayers with water to rinse down some areas or just wipe the dirt down with some old "microfiber"towels after brushing it with the cleaners. :-)

    Great work....through experience though , using so much water in the engine bay can get into the electrical system. Your thoughts ?

    Do you always use brake buster after MWC? I find MWC really great but it’s not quite enough for my 6 piston brembos with dusty pads. Before I tried MWC none of the alkaline cleaners would touch the dust.
    I’m thinking of using MWC in a pump sprayer. The Koch sprayer is very narrow fan out and the product is viscous.
