One of the most frequent questions we receive at Mercedes-Benz of Santa Fe involves how to clean your car's engine. If you are a driver in Santa Fe with this question, simply follow these tips.
First, pick a bright and warm day. If you can arrange your cleaning day to have low humidity, that will make the cleaning easier to complete because the car parts will dry faster. Secondly, allow the car's engine to cool for at least 15 minutes before you begin to clean. If the engine is not cool, you could get burned. Next, you will want to remove the negative battery terminal and any plastic covers. However, you want to make sure to cover up sensitive parts, such as wires and the car's battery.
At this stage, you may spray the engine with degreaser. After you have thoroughly sprayed, scrub the engine to remove any caked-on grease and dirt. After scrubbing, thoroughly rinse before replacing any parts you removed.
