Default Engine bay Cleaning

Hey guys,

From all the cleaning procucts that you can get from places like Canadian Tire etc. What is the best product to use to spray the engine bay to give it that nice new shiney look?

When I got the car from the dealer they used some product that made it look like the car was built yesterday.

What do you guys use for engine bay cleaning??

You're welcome, you should also pick up some Invisible Glass while you are there (works great).

I totally agree about Invisible Glass. I just bought some today and it is amazing.
I actually bought the applicator (or whatever you call it) when I was at Carlisle. Finally picked up the spray too....great combo. I highly recommend getting the tool, it makes it so much easier to clean the inside of your windshield.

Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black.

I have tried a lot of different detailers and this one kicks ****! Not greasy and makes like new. I use it under hoods, engine compartment, wheel wells, tires plastic, rubber hoses.

Here's the link to the website. Watch the video (at least part of it) and it shows you how it works. What's cool is that he's demonstrating it on a C6!! ha, ha. The guy in the video is the guy that was at Carlisle selling it too.

It really is far superior to paper towels. I also found that it definitely worked better with the Invisible Glass spray then it did with Windex.

Has anyone seen the Reach & Clean tool in any Canadian store? Both Canadian Tire and Walmart don't even know what it is!
