Elllie the Elantra's engine bay was pretty dirty - 210k miles...
Did a very quick cleaning today...Not very good but loads better than it was for sure: sprayed mildly with garden hose sprayed Purple Power full strength everywhere let it sit for about 5 minutes, agitated SOME parts with a brush, sprayed off again with garden hose went for a quick 20 min drive dried off with a rag sprayed poor boys' trim/interior cleaner and 1z plastic cleaner (didn't have anything else) wiped off residue - that's it. BEFORE and AFTERs: -------------------- 03 GLS

See now that was easy. Looks like a new car.

I used a Brillo pad on the intake manifold. It looked brand new after I did that. -------------------- |

Hey-Considering the mileage, the compartment wasn't all that bad, which is why it looks so good now after your tidy up.
