Hello, usually every so often when I see the very dirty dirt car engine I have taken it to the laundry room, but today they use a degreaser and then pressurized water, the idea does not convince me much although they are very clean and beautiful. I have washed them personally in the same way, but I want to know if there is another less risky way to leave it clean but not shiny. You can use kerosene or kerosene mixed with a little water with a brush and rag or a kitchen degreaser, which It would be the best choice.Thanks a lot

Law of pure mechanics:
Art-1: the car engine, does not wash
Art. 2: The car engine is never washed
Art. 3: Never wash, it is also valid.

Edurau because he can't wash himself? Does he wear out or what? If one day you would do some mechanical work, would you like to do it in the middle of the dirt that accumulates? I have heard that they do not wash, but I have always liked that people talk or repeat what they hear as long as they know and explain why.

Hi. Nothing happens with pressurized water, comment some and when does it happen? Is the laundry responsible? . The more modern and complex the car, the higher the risks. Finding alternatives for cleaning the engine even if it takes us much longer to do so will avoid problems and even significant unnecessary repair costs. But the issue does not end with just observing immediate failures to this action, the oxide will be an inevitable manifestation in terminals, connectors and the complex electronic system. even the conductivity of water or moisture that will last a long time causing condensation (the heat of the motor will not dissipate it). A voltage or voltage altered by this procedure can damage the Equ. If a task or mechanical repair is required that requires a cleaning, the measures and precautions of the case will be taken. Salu2.

Jose: Mangel answered it perfectly, with more than 65 years of mechanics, university degrees and experience, I repeat, the motor of a car, DO NOT WASH EVER !!! but if you like to wash it by immersion with a good caustic soda, in total the car is yours. luck

Edurau nobody has spoken of immersion or soda or anything like that, do not add things to be well stopped, after all you did not answer what I asked you, it is obvious that you have to be careful in certain things, the electrical and electronic parts , do not use pressurized water, it is obvious, well, I imagine how yours will be if you have, a whole lump of land, a piglet, I know a lot of titles that fall with certain things, a very clean car On all sides it says a lot about you and looks better

If I do full service to my car from time to time in the car wash and you can throw a white shirt in the engine hood and it will come out clean, you could not say the same.

if the engines are washed, we do it in the agency only with the necessary care, you can do it by putting degreaser and diesel in a spray bottle and then rinse it with water, rinse it with a wd40, so it prevents the Screws and plastics will be damaged or cracked and will look good.
