Whatcha think??????
 
Big difference thats for sure. What was your process? Pressure washer or just a lot of scrubbing? Atleast that engine bay isn't huge. It was really hard to keep my engine bay clean on my old DD (99 Silverado) and a little better with the new 05 Tacoma. Looks really good.
 
I started by wetting down the front of the car......fenders and bumper cover.
I then sprayed a degreaser we get at work....It's called "Hot Stuff". Awesome stuff....works GREAT. I use it full strength on jobs like this. Don't even have to let it set. Used a SOFT bristle brush and wipe down the underside of the hood and painted surfaces under the hood.
Then I just hose it off with regular pressure out of a water hose w/nozzle.

I never cover anything up......

Then to dry, I ran the engine for a bit.....got impatient, and grabbed the air hose and aided in the drying process.
After that, i grabbed a can of Quick Detail........can't remember the brand.....something I get from the supplier......Works alright, not my #1 choice....but it works...... :punk:
 
It's amazing what 20 minutes can do for a car. Of course, that probably would've taken me around 2 hours because I'm not the fastest person in the world.

Out of curiosity, are you also using a smaller brush (maybe a toothbrush) for the hard-to-get-to nooks and crannies? Or is a full-strength cleaner, handbrush, and high-pressure water sufficient?

Looks fabulous, buddy! :)
