Engine Bay Detail Process

Safety Prep & Inspection

We inspect the engine compartment, cover sensitive electronics, and prepare the area for cleaning.

Degreasing & Pre-Rinse

A low-pressure rinse and eco-safe degreaser remove surface dirt, oil, and grime from all visible engine bay components.

Detailing Brushes & Agitation

Detailing brushes work the degreaser into tight areas, lifting grease and contaminants safely.

Rinse & Dry

The engine bay is carefully rinsed and dried with microfiber towels and air blowers to prevent moisture retention.

Protective Dressing

Plastic, rubber, and metal components are treated with a protective dressing for a like-new finish and UV protection.
