    Mercdes Benz Engine

    Detailed a S Class engine, sprayed it with a mixture of 1 & 1/2 quart of Simple Green and 2 & 1/2 quarts water. Hose it down with pressure washer and dress with 1 part Auto Magic`s Super Dress It and 1 part water. Took 5 minutes tops, $40.00

    Looks good.
    Did you use the Simple Green/Water solution as the pressure washer soap solution?

    Nice job on the engine. Is that a Superwinch accessory I see at the bottom of the 2nd pic? Does he off-road the thing?

    looks great, but I`ll bet you it took longer than 5 min. there`s no way in hell you could cover your electrics, spray down the engine, let it do it`s stuff, wash it down, dry it off, and dress and polish in under 5 minutes without being the Flash! I`ll tell you, you have great looking cars, but what you show and what you say don`t jive!

    just my opinion.

    No covering any areas? Whoosh power washers are strong!

    Re: Mercdes Benz Engine

    Looks much nicer for sure but it does look like a 5 minute job also. He never mentions he covered any electronics. The dirt is mainly accumulated dust so the pressure washer blew that right off I am sure. That alone would of been a huge improvement. Again it looks much nicer but you can see dirt still in some areas and some splotchy dressing areas so I believe from the looks of it that 5 minutes is about right.

    You just have to be efficient with your time and know what products to use. Just like these pictures, About 45 minutes to clean interior and seats, 1 hour total time to wash and interior.

    nice looking motro job but why do 99% of your posts have to contain these giant pictures? you think you can size them down a bit? maybe not post them in alomst all of your replies. you know you don`t need a picture everytime you explain or brag about something.

    Re: Mercdes Benz Engine

    i dont like where these threads are going lately... maybe a PM would have been nicer guys.

    i have never hosed an engine before in my life. im sure if i ever did tho it would be longer than 5 minutes. 40 bucks for a 5 minute job seems like robbery to me. i would`ve charged 10 bucks max for that. for now my engine jobs take about 30 minutes using damp APC rags. until i know exactly how to cover an engine the hose let alone a PW will stay away.

    i have noticed that his method is the one on automagics website.

    lets eat paste!
