Proper Engine Cleaning: Maserati Quattroporte
Many of you have requested step-by-step process of a proper engine cleaning. So here it is....
Step 1: Run engine for about 5 minutes, if cold, to create a WARM engine temperature. Make sure it's not HOT. Take caution to cover any open intakes. For the most part, most newer cars are OK to water contact in the engine compartment if you follow these directions.
Step 2: Rinse the engine bay. You simply want to get all the areas wet and to flush out surface dirt. You will notice the steam coming off the engine compartment. This is what you want. It's highly recommended to use deionized water in this step. DI water will help avoid water spots and will take full advantage of the cleaners used.
Step 3: Spray a mild engine cleaner or degreaser. The cleaner of choice for me is P21S Total Auto Wash. TAW is a safe, biodegradable, pH balanced citrus-based cleaner that will dissolve most grease and heavy soil. Spray the TAW liberally and allow to dwell, soak in, for about five minutes.
