Default Decided to do an engine clean yesterday.

I'm not too happy with the results of the product i used. I used gunk engine degreaser and gunk shine protector. Maybe it was because my engine bay wasn't that dirty to begin with? I don't know here's pics.

Looks good to me! Did you use water to clean it? I try keeping my engine way clean by scrubbing what I can with purple power degreaser and then wiping it down. I'm worried about messing something up with using water on it. On my v6 mustang I use to have I used the gunk engine spray, covered up the electrical work (didn't leave much to clean), and rinsed off with water. I was happy with the outcome after some scrubbing. It was a lot more dirty than yours was to start with though. Also the v6 engine bay is less cramped lol.

yes, i used a spray bottle with water in it. didn't want to risk using a hose. i didn't even use that much of the degreaser, didn't want to take any chances messing anything up. my brother used it on a beater he used to have and he destroyed the whole car so i was a little nervous using it especially when it started to smoke when you let it idle for 15 minutes.
