2001 Volvo S80 ~ Engine Detail

**Tuck91** · 08-22-2009, 11:09 PM

After seeing a few writeups on engine detailing on here I figured I would take a shot at it. The customer requested that I wiped down the engine but I did a little more than that.

Doesnt look too bad for eight years old:

30 minutes later:

And heres a few more pictures I snapped in the garage:

The customer was very pleased and so was I :thumbup:

Nice job Nick. I love HD for the engine. I just spray it on and walk away and when I come back (two beers later) it looks like I`ve been working hard.

Yeah, i agree. The owner thought I spent like 3 hours on it too.

thanks everyone for the kind words.

Looks nice, brand new.

Engine cleaning is definitely one of the easier parts of detailing. I don`t touch older engines, but newer ones can be made to look new in little time, like shown here. I don`t dress them however.
