    I followed that dude Pan the Organizer method

    Blow it
    Wet it
    Spray with universal cleaner (Koch’s Gs)
    Brush big areas and hood
    Foam it ( Koch’s active foam)
    Brush it
    Rinse it
    Blow it dry
    Spray with conserver (Koch’s Motorplast)

    One of my kids tried help cleaning up my shop while I was gone; they folded up my power washer hose. Doh. I needed a newer, better, more shiny one anyways. Haha.

    Seriously, though, last time I washed the motor in a different car I thought I killed it. Like a food aversion, my brain abhors the thought. Then I change the oil and I'm disgusted with how filthy it is. So my brain fights itself for a while until I mash the throttle and my face peels half off and I forget what I was bickering with myself about.

    But it needs a wash.
