Hello, car enthusiasts and cleanliness connoisseurs! Welcome back to the Polar Bees blog, your one-stop-shop for all things car detailing. Today, we’re diving under the hood to explore the ‘when’ and ‘how’ of cleaning your car engine. ️

Cleaning your car engine is a task often overlooked by many car owners. But did you know that a clean engine runs cooler, performs better, and can even help you spot potential issues before they become costly repairs? ️

 

So, when should you clean your car engine? Well, as a rule of thumb, an annual engine clean is a good idea. However, if you often drive in dusty conditions or if you spot oil or fluid leaks, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get cleaning! ️

 

 

Now, let’s get to the ‘how’.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to cleaning your car engine:

 

  1. Safety First! Disconnect the battery, cover any exposed electrical components with plastic bags, and make sure the engine is cool before you start.

  2. Remove Loose Dirt: Use a blower or a brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the engine bay. ️

  3. Apply Degreaser: Spray a good quality engine degreaser from the bottom up, avoiding belts and electrical components. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down the grime. ⏱️

  4. Scrub and Rinse: Use a brush to scrub stubborn spots, then rinse from the top down with a gentle stream of water. Remember, we’re not pressure washing here!

  5. Dry and Protect: Dry the engine bay using microfiber towels or a blower, then apply a protectant to prevent future dirt buildup and to give your engine that showroom shine! ✨️

 

Remember, if you’re not comfortable cleaning your car engine yourself, the Polar Bees team is always here to help! We’re experts in engine detailing and can have your engine looking and performing its best in no time.
