How do I use a Hydro degreaser on a car engine?
- Remove all debris: start by removing all the debris that hinders your ability to degrease the car's engine compartment properly.
- Protect the engine and other electrical components: for petrol vehicles, it is necessary to cover exposed electrical components. Degreasing or wetting electrical components in the engine compartment can lead to electrical faults when the car is finally started. It is best to remove the battery from the motor if possible and cover exposed wiring and components with plastic wrap.
- Degreasing the car's engine: The dirtier the car's engine, the longer you need to leave the product to work. But be sure to read the instructions that come with the product. Generally, the product should not be left on for 30 seconds before scrubbing with a brush.
- Rinse off the degreaser: It is advisable to use a hose or other water-spraying device to wash all the waterborne degreaser out of the engine compartment. You need to be thorough and cover all the areas where the degreaser has been applied. However, care must be taken as electrical components must not come into contact with the product. These parts must be hidden and protected.
- Apply more degreaser and brush: This step is only necessary if the engine is not completely clean.
- Clean: as in step 4, wash off all the dirt and grease remover. You should also clean the car battery and any other plastic surfaces inside the vehicle with a wire or bristle brush.
- Allow to dry: the final step is to allow the motor to dry out to ensure that there is no water inside or out.
