The engine compartment and suspension were filthy and required extensive cleaning by hand. The engine and electronics are prone to damage if they get wet, so I was unable to use any water certain areas. I took a damp microfiber cloth saturated with degreaser and meticulously detailed the entire engine compartment, underside of the hood and all suspension components. I used a variety of different cloths, q-tips and brushes to get into the hard-to-reach areas that I wasn’t able to get by hand.



















After the engine compartment was clean and the body was stripped of “loose” contaminants, I soaked the car in foam and let sit for about two minutes and rinsed.






I washed the entire car by hand again to remove any leftover residue that may have been leftover from the degreaser. While the car was still soapy, I clayed the entire exterior to remove any “bonded” contaminants from the surface and rinsed thoroughly.

I pulled the car back into the shop, dried the exterior and wiped the engine compartment & jambs dry with a clean microfiber towel. I then worked my way around the entire vehicle, wiping every panel with 91% alcohol to ensure each panel was 100% clean.
