This is why I'll always buy his products because there's pride and respect and every detail that he creates for us. Thanks, Adam!

The cleaning process is the same. Use Tire & Rubber Cleaner with wheel cleaning tools. Only difference is you probably won't need to dress the engine. Use your own judgement. If it looks faded you can dress the engine with Interior Detailer like Adam did here or if you need to add another layer of protection, you can use Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating.

'Your little oil checking handle' ?????? I will try the interior detailer on the engine bay next time I wash. I keep a gallon if your interior detail on hand plus a couple bottles of VRT as well. I will say that I use a leaf blower to get water off the cars. My full size crew cab truck never sees a towel except for when I use ceramic spray. I use one of the largest Echo backpack leaf blowers they make. Second from the top actually. And I promise you it runs circles around your little air blower. BUT I know people that dont have access to a large, good quality leaf blower would definitely benefit from your machine. HIGHLY recommend blowing the cars off after wash instead of toweling. Especially if you can pair that with using deionized water for rinsing as well.

Leaf blowers work just find.

All you dorks thinking the pressure washer is gonna hurt your engine, fuse boxes, batteries, alternator etc: No modern car manufacturer would ever engineer an engine bay to be ruined via a non-commercial pressure washer held from 2 feet away. Your car would be failing in a multitude of other ways before degreaser and a pressure rinse 😂 anyone I’ve ever heard complaining about that especially on MODERN cars, either hasn’t detailed cars very long or just likes to hear themselves confirm their own opinions lol I’ve done over 300 engine bays degreasing and scrubbing and pressure rinsing. Never thrown a code on the dash, never burped water out the exhaust. However clowns will be clowns

until you pressure wash an alternator. Or the water ruins the coil on plugs. Please God, NEVER pressure wash the engine bay. Use LOW PRESSURE HOSE !!!! Cover up the alternator and stay away from the spark plug area. A low pressure hose and simple green is enough to wash away the grease. Tire foam is ok on the plastic. Stay away from the belts.

mechanics everywhere looking at this video screaming and what he didn't show is how his car won't start after finished cleaning it DO NOT spray pressured water or any water directly at your engine(especially newer generation cars), that is not the correct way to do it

I’m glad he didn’t say it helps mechanics see the dipsticks better while checking fluids bunch of bullshit😂😂

I avoid pressure washing on engine bays for customer vehicles. To much liability especially for older vehicles. To each their own.

never knew who adam was until this video, i like his products but this guy is asking to get sued🤣 all those electrical connectors need to be covered atleast, watch the chemical guys video those guys know how to do it

This is more like how to clean the plastic in your engine bay, You didnt do anything to cut any possible oil/grease buildup on the underside.

That pressure washer cant be good for the wires

Not a fair assessment. That engine was already spotless.

This thing really blows 😂😂

Don't do this. This will make it worse not better. This has petroleum oil based base which attracts dust and debris on your engine making it worse over time. You may like the shine after you apply it, but the more you apply, the worse it will get over time. The smell that intrudes into the cabin is also another thing. Do not do it. Buy a true engine bay cleaner with running water to get rid of dirt , debris, oil and other gunk out.

I’ll just use a damp rag and wipe it down. No need for any chemical whatsoever.

Nah...I'll just stick to wet paint brushes and rags. Am not spraying my engine🤦‍♂️

It's super easy when it's a brand new escalade why would you not chose a car that you could showcase the quality of your product? All this video tells me is you don't believe in your product that's why your cleaning a brand new engine bay.
