  • This is the first video in the full detailing series of my E46 ZHP. I've had this car for several months and it was time to get it up to standard! The first things I like to do are the dirtiest parts of the car like the engine bay, undercarriage, wheels, jams, etc.

    Coming along nicely 👍 .Not a bad idea to blow-out the bay to dry, especially the electrical connectors, alternator, etc. Also helps to run the engine a bit.

    • @ShiftedPerspective
      @ShiftedPerspective  4 года назад

      I forgot to film that part! I like to blow dry the engine bay with my Ego blower, then I do Solution Finish and Perl

  • @wildpony1957
    @wildpony1957 4 года назад +3

    Really helpful information and techniques. I never let my engine bay get this dirty, but your tips will come in handy. With all those different chemicals, if you detail a lot you may consider Nitrile gloves while you work (read that sentence using your mom’s voice) Great video!

  • @ericgutierrez812

    The windshield cowl is a SUPER easy cheap easy fix. It's worth doing. I did mine in like 20 min. The wiper arms aren't too difficult to remove either.

  • @sk8ordie4691

    You can definitely ceramic coat over solution finish to make it last, looks pretty good tho. Love my ZHP 🤙🏼

    What a steal for $4k!

    I still find it funny how the e46 is what I’m most hyped for...Doesn’t make sense, you have a M3

  • @iain3915
    @iain3915 4 года назад

    Great demonstration of the solution finish. I thought it was just a trim coating - hadn't realised it was also a dye.

    No problem with electrical parts of engine ? You remove battery cable ?

      Yeah that’s been like that since I bought it. I’ll definitely have to look into it

    Did you clean your e39 engine bay this way? I want to do so on mine but just cant get over the fear of spraying water in there

    • @ikeepgettinbanned5525
      @ikeepgettinbanned5525 3 года назад +1

      lmao ive sprayed a little water on the engine on every car i have ever washed. and i used to work for honda and toyota. so thousands of cars. never one problem. just dont spray a hot engine and dont spray the alternator. and be conservative. dont just douse it.

  • @stilldomi
    @stilldomi 2 года назад

    did you just spray the engine bay without covering anything? Nevermind you answered my question in the video haha

  • @davidkoppe2430
    @davidkoppe2430 3 года назад

    The steering fluid reservoir has a weeping hole on the side of the lid. It will continue to leak through (I guess it's what it is supposed to). Changing the O ring won't help much I fear. But definitely nothing wrong with this.

  • @RearEngineShop
    @RearEngineShop 3 года назад

    Turned out great! I need to do this on the E46 I’m putting an engine in on my channel. Its been sitting outside a few years so it’s pretty nasty with rodents nests.

  • @coledietrich8863
    @coledietrich8863 4 года назад

    Wait when you detail a zhp it's okay if u get the engine wet? He pressure washed it, I was told not to but does anyone know different? It's it okay for my car?

    • @ShiftedPerspective
      @ShiftedPerspective  4 года назад

      just be smart about it...cover up anything that you're concerned about getting wet.

    I cant imagine having engine bay this dirty unless its a work truck lol, I clean the bmw under the hood with every regular wash I do which is twice a month

    • @andreasrajngard1686
      @andreasrajngard1686 3 года назад

      jo i just bought my first car. A e46 and the engine bay is filthy af. Is it safe to clean the engine bay with water and foam ?

    Need to detail my engine bay, did you really only pay $4k? How many miles and man What a steal even at high mileage

    • @ShiftedPerspective
      @ShiftedPerspective  4 года назад +1

      Yeah the seller didn’t really know what he had. It has 115k miles, great service history

    Scared to do this on my e92

  • @ikeepgettinbanned5525
    @ikeepgettinbanned5525 3 года назад

    just do the underside of hood first and blow off with compressed air and pat with microfiber.

  • @coupish
    @coupish 4 года назад

    Im scared to do this but my engine bay is like this in my N54 powered bmw. I would probably cover the alternator and the air intakes. If anyone has any other tips let me know.

    • @cuban8ight
      @cuban8ight 3 года назад

      Make sure ur coils are closed so no water gets to ur plugs

    • @ikeepgettinbanned5525
      @ikeepgettinbanned5525 3 года назад +1

      not really necessary to cover it up. but if that helps you sleep at night... the only thing to worry about is spraying water on a hot engine. and dont flood it. water can splash alternators and be just fine
