Engine detailing

I have APC+ and EK coming early next week.



Here's the idea: on a cold engine, liberally spray APC+ (diluted to 4:1, of course) all over. Agitate if necessary and rinse with as little pressure as possible.



Now, after that, should I do a little drying before the EK? I'm guessing yes, but I'm just curious. I mean, damn, some people intentionally water down their EK, so I'm kinda wondering about that.
 
Oops. I've gotten used to referring to Meg's Engine Kote as just "EK." What I was saying was that some people water down their EK to promote a better overall spray if they had problems otherwise. So, assuming I'd be using it straight, I would think that the engine does not really have to be terribly dry at all.



No? :)
 
Polaris- First, I've NEVER used EK, so uhm, :rolleyes: . But anyhow, just remember that there can be a BIG difference between diluting a product and applying it to a wet/damp surface. I'm thinking spotting, blotchy appearance, uneven application, etc. You really might oughta hassle with the drying. Maybe just run the engine for a while and then let it cool back down, or use an air hose or even a hair dryer. BTW, I get better engine cleaning results when it's a little warm, not stone cold.
 
Apply your Engine Kote after the engine is completely cool and dry. A couple of light applications will work much better than trying to saturate everything at once. ;)
 
Alrighty then, I'll do that. Thanks for the advice/thoughts, guys.



(I'm impatiently waiting for my goodies on Mon/Tues...)
