How To Detail Your Engine Bay Safely (The Ultimate Guide)

Описание: Stop turning your engine dust into mud! In this Gear Culture exclusive, I’m showing you the "Dry-Wet-Dry" method to get a factory-fresh engine bay without the risk.

We’re diving deep into the science of solvent-based vs. water-based cleaners, and I'll show you why your blower is actually your most important detailing tool. From clearing out "dry" debris to purging standing water from deep crevices, this is the most thorough way to clean your car's heart using just a garden hose and a few smart techniques.

The Gear Culture Toolkit:
The Prep: High-velocity Blower (to clear loose dust and leaves).
The Chemicals: Solvent-Based Cleaner (for the heavy grease) & Water-Based Cleaner (for plastics/top-end).
Agitation: Precision Detailing Brushes & Stiff-Bristle Wheel Brushes.
The Rinse: Garden Hose (Low-pressure technique).
The Dry: Blower (to purge "settled" water) & Premium Microfiber Towels.
