Scott u make me feel like I can do anything possible when it comes to detailing a vehicle thanks so much

Nice and quick, you have this one done right. Fifteen minutes to a clean engine isn't too shabby.

Oh My!!!!! Because of this very video, I bought 1 can of super clean, and cleaned my Tacoma engine that has never been cleaned since new, I only used a water hose and a shop vacuum to suck water out of valleys, and I'm blown away how clean it looks now, it took a hole 20 minutes to have sparkling engine. Thank you

Can you make a video on how to clean an engine after a heavy oil leak?

I definitely would have protected those caps on the battery from the super clean. Car batteries are not sealed 100%. Those caps are actually vents for the battery, and has a high potential of letting in pressurized water or air if aimed at it. Free flowing water would have been better on the battery IMO. Distilled water, no big deal. A cleaner or anything else is super bad inside a battery. I would have removed the battery caps and cleaned all the excess water & possibly super clean out before ever pulling out the blower. Probably topped off the battery at no charge, since I had some distilled water left over. Scott, knows what I mean. I Love the Super Clean product

I respect a man who takes pride in his work.

Great video. I live in an apartment complex with a built in garage and I will definitely buy the Worx pressure washer for my detailing needs

Scott: Love the videos. I noted the your reason for using the aerosol SuperClean is to that you don't have to do all of the pumping using a trigger sprayer. What about using the SuperClean liquid concentrate diluted appropriately in a small pump up sprayer? That seems much more cost effective and you don't have the waste of disposing of empty aerosol cans.

Good job buut, always disconnect the battery so you don't end up with an electrical short. Engines are made to take on water, from the bottom. The components are made water tight however, over time their seals loosen up the to heat etc. And the pressure washer may not have been your best bet.

Man your channel is growing Scott! Hard work pays off!

Very interesting and nicely done video. Thanks. It is appreciated.

I love this video for this reason: Scott cleaned that engine bay in real time and it only took about 12 minutes to do it! These are the videos we need to see so we know how long these steps actually take so that those of us getting ready to start our own businesses(Moi) know how long these jobs should take. On a side note though, Scott probably took longer to dress the engine than he did washing it, but that's ok since the final details always take the longest...

When I saw 'Super Clean' in the description, I knew I was in for a treat. We use that stuff at my employer's shop, and it's almost a little scary how it strips grease and gunk off machines .. the coolant we use on our CNC machines is REALLY nasty when it starts to break down, and SC is the only thing that cleans it off.

I washed & detailed trucks for 5 yrs using the exact same method only 1 would start the truck straight after finishing to dry of any water that got into any crevice or wiring etc & it works very well.

Thank you for yoir video, is it safe to follow the same process under the engine cover where the fuel injection cables are? I really appreciate your time.

Do you need to cover any components like the battery terminals, etc. when using the product or hosing it off? Also if you don’t have access to a power hose what else can you use to rinse after applying the superclean?

Lots of free work will put you out of business when everyone starts to expect you to work for free. You can work for yourself for free all you want, so what if it takes you an entire afternoon or the whole day, you're not paying for someone else's time or a very specific service. When you go in an pay for an oil change, do they also change your plugs, wires, etc, for free?

I have watched a couple of your videos. Learned a bit from them. But... number one. If your not removing most of the plastic parts to get down to the actual engine your not cleaning the engine only the plastic and rubber parts. Next what about the bottom? I always go under to clean also!! That cleans up any oil leakage from oil being added and running down the engine. Just something I see. I'm sure your either detailing for a car lot or regular customers. But the job is not complete until the entire engine is clean! Anyway, like your vids. Just had to comment.

Hi Scott greetings from California. I'm working on a 70,s kit car mostly fiver glass , natural wood and lots of small rust spots. Too many curves to use a DA. The car is modeled after a Mercedes gazelle. And advide in the rust spots and fiber glass ?

Is this stuff biodegradable? If not, how do you clean the driveway?

Scott, really enjoyed this real-time demo. A thought - It might be possible to reduce even further the amount of water used to rinse cleaner if you worked your spray in only one overall direction, e.g. start at the front of the bay (radiator cover area) and work your rinsing movement back to the firewall. You might net a little less water in the engine bay. I think "less" is always good when it comes to water in an engine bay. :-)

Hi Scott, I watched this about 4 years ago when I was selling an 8 year old Odyssey. I picked your approach out of a number on detailing engine bay. It was great, easy and effective. In fact when the first guy came to see the car, he took it for a ride, came back crawled around underneath and asked me to pop the hood. When I saw his face, he was perplexed - why does the engine look like it just came off the line at Honda? were there leaks, major engine work, etc, etc. Fortunately, the rest of the car showed as mint so I just told him that I detail the car myself and take excellent care of my vehicles. 'Nuff said. Closed the deal right then. I just bought a 2002 Vette convertible. Car is mint exterior. Interior and engine bay need some love. I'll be watching this and some other videos you've done to study up before i start. One question about the roof. It is an OEM replacement in the past 5 years - looks like new. I was thinking of using Ragg Top cleaner and Protectant on my roof. Any experience with this product? Thanks again.

Nice Job!!!

I finally understand! He says he uses distilled water. That is the key. Distilled water does not conduct electricity. That's why he can spray it in an engine and not worry about anything.

Distilled water is even purer than deionized water, so even if the H2O molecules conduct a minuscule amount of electricity, it's basically the same as 25 degrees of Celsius warm air. So you can pour distilled water on a batteri and it wont conduct more than the warm air around it. But you need to be sure it's perfectly distilled. Double distilling will help make the water as close as you'd want it when pouring it on or near a battery, but single distilled will most likely also be enough.

And also, I was told to never use a pressure water or anything that applies lots of forced water, I was always told to use a spray bottle of water and wipe it down, or to just use a simple water hose nozzle?

That would have been perfect for me under the hood but the problem is it didn't remove the paint evenly, the paint was all spotty, faded, and hideous looking. I spent days and days removing the remaining spotty paint using lacquer thinner. It was a royal PIA. This video is nothing more than a giant affiliate kickback marketing banner. Lame af.

@@stephanparis6887 sorry to hear. Super Clean can be used full-strength on engines, however it should be used diluted on painted surfaces (3 or 4:1) and not allowed to dwell for long. In fact, Super Clean warns to be careful when using it on aluminum, painted, and powder coated surfaces. So it's probably best to just use it diluted and rely on a little more agitation to finish the job and rinse it off relatively quickly on those painted areas.

You don't need to protect some of the electrical parts on some cars?

I would like an answer on that question too Scott. People are uneasy about water messing up elec components, the MAF sensor, and whatever else it could damage, thanks.

If it makes you feel more comfortable you can take a plastic bag and cover up the fuse box/alternator and either cover the battery or just take it out.

pretty much every other engine bay detail I've seen on YT has the first step of covering all electrical connections and electronics with plastic bags to prevent water ingress.

Sherukka Nope i pressure wash mine with a 4200 psi washer never had problems and i hit everything yes the alternator too

Does the alternator need to be covered? I have a 2016 F150 5.0 and the alternator is way down on the bottom.

Hi Scott. Jose from Los Angeles. In the world of KZread. This is a vintage video. I’m glad you’re doing well. You should get back into the how to polish videos. They never get old. Or high detail on a car. How to leave up paint like glass. Hope you read this. Have an amazing day

Engine cleaned? or engine covers?

That looks great. I have just one suggestion, though. When flushing the engine bay with water, it is a good idea to pull the negative lead off the battery and cycle the ignition from off to on then back off to drain any stored energy in the computer. You don't want any electronics to short out if water gets inside them and they are somehow powered. I know it's not necessary to do this, but better safe than sorry. An extra 30 seconds or less of work could save some expensive electronics(sensors, switches, computers, etc.). Just a suggestion.

A Clean Engine is a Happy engine. I believe in CLEAN.

I have a 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5 I want to clean mine. So I dont need to cover anything to do this? I live in Dallas do you still take new customers and is this expensive?
