First engine detail

**Richard's Detailing** · 06-01-2009, 02:22 PM

All done by hand. I used some Poorboy APC, Citrus engine cleaner and CD2 Engine Detailer with different types of brushes.

I was not able to reach some tight spots because my I didn`t have small enough brush to reach them. It took me about 1 hour and 20 minutes to do this engine. Customer was happy with the results but I thought I could have done better if I had better brushes.

Can anyone recommended some good small brushes for getting into tight spots?

Here are the pics.

It looks good to me. Fifth pic up from the bottom the camera picked up some weatherstripping that wasn`t dressed completely......minor point and you likely weren`t through yet.

Looks familiar, B5 S4 ?

Did mine the other day so I`ll whore it up. You Don`t want to mess with the coil pack on an Audi they hate water.

Did mine similar to how you did that, looks good.

thanks guys! i did do the weather stripping after everything was cleaned. i sprayed cd2 and let it sit there for 10 minutes then wiped it off because my customer doesn`t want it too shiney. any recommendations on brushes for getting to those tight spaces?

Looks great, as far as brushes go Swissvax and Raceglaze Brushes (I have not personally used Raceglaze YET plan on ordering a set real soon after reading lots of great reviews) work well
