Question cleaning motor??

i have alot of dirt and shit on my motor and its relaly really ugly...its the muddy residue that you get when you offroad and it only comes off when you wipe it with something...anyone know of a good way to clean this off...ive tried pressure washer and that works ok but not clean enough....any input would be great and T.I.A.

Lots of degreaser. Cover anything hat you could harm with a lot of water/degreaser and have at it. Take a small brush or toothbrush to get the crevices you want cleaned out. Use a high pressured hose clean it up. It'll take a while. If you want the stuff dressed afterwards, use some of the Migliore Trim Protectant, Poorboy's Trim Restore, or even Stoners Trim in the spray can.

Yes, it's a bitch. Took me a couple hours to do mine, then again I kept falling off the wet ladder (fuck being short)

Mine had about 1/2" of grime on the bottom end of the engine... took me about 4 hours to get mine looking like what I wanted. I had to get some work done the next day and when I went to pick up my truck the guys were asking me why my engine was so clean with 120k miles

To me, the trucks not high enough... It just tells me I need a bigger ladder and some skate board tape on the steps

After cleaning I'd recommend dressing with Migliore Brilliant Trim Dressing for a nice matte finish:

Ok, so I take the gay statement back, considering your girlfriend is one of the hottest "legal" girls I've seen.

Damn. Again? That's no good. Go clean you engine bay out now and make yourself feel better with the final outcome.
