Engine

Yes, cleaning a modern engine bay is entirely safe, provided you go about it sensibly. Modern cars have well-sealed electronics and wiring harnesses that can withstand splashing water. The most important thing is that the engine has fully cooled down before you start. Also, never use the hard, direct jet of a pressure washer on sensitive parts such as the alternator, the battery, or exposed connectors. Keep enough distance and let our biodegradable Engine Cleaner do the heavy lifting.

The engine bay is exposed to extreme conditions, especially very high temperatures while driving. Regular interior or tire dressings can't withstand this; they evaporate quickly, stain, or actually attract extra dust. Our Engine Coat is specifically formulated to be heat-resistant. Once applied, it forms a flexible, antistatic protective layer that shields plastics, rubbers and hoses against drying out and cracking, without leaving behind a greasy or sticky film.

Because dirt in the engine bay often consists of a mix of stubborn grease, oil and road grime, we recommend using sturdy detailing brushes (like the larger Detail Factory variants) here. These let you easily reach the deeper parts between hoses and filters. For drying or wiping off excess product, use shorter-pile all-round microfiber towels (like the Wipeout towels). Always keep these towels strictly separate after washing for engine or wheel maintenance; you never want to accidentally smear this heavy grease over your paint or interior.
