WoW! Thanks for all the compliments on my car and the engine bay!
I REALLY appreciate it
I used to wipe it down all the time but it's been so dry here lately that dust has been blowing around like crazy so it kinda built up on me
I did not use the water hose on it, Too affraid that I might have messed something up
So I took the fuel rail covers off and got my microfiber cloth damp and wiped over all the engine bay. Gotta love these things You will have to wash out the cloth several times if it was as bad as mine was
Once you get all the dirt, dust and grime off go back over it with some 2001 and that's it. Took me about 15-30 minutes to do the whole job
I hope I answered everyones questions, if not please feel free to ask!

Each time you wash the Vette, just wipe down the engine compartment with a damp towel.....it takes about 2 or 3 extra minutes and it will alway look good.
