Hey guys, I just picked up some p21s TAW and I have heard people using it on the engine.. I was wondering what are the steps to use this? Is it safe to spray water in the engine bay to rinse it off? Thanks!

P21S Total Auto Wash works great on engine bays. Steps are really quite simple but before the steps it's important to note that depending on the year of the vehicle you'll be required to cover sensative areas of the vehicle. What I mean is that if the vehicle is a brand new model (2008, 2007, 2006..ect..ect) then you shouldn't really need to cover too much areas, maybe just the air intake and the alternator if you can see it that is. If the vehicle is an older model vehicle, then you'll need to cover the spark plugs, alternator, air intake and well any other parts that are exposed.

So depending on the vehicle you may need to cover up sensative areas or not....so once you have protected sensative areas (or not) you give the engine bay a quick rinse, then spray P21S Total Auto Wash. Let it sit and works it majic for several minutes. Then agitate with a brush, you can repeat the process and apply another coat of P21S Total Auto Wash but becarefull because P21S Total Auto Wash goes by quite fast, before you know it it's all gone.

Any who, that's what I do hope this helps

Word to the wise, without going into any detail whatsoever, cover up your ABS module!!!

Thanks guys! I have an 05 bmw so there probably isn't much I have to cover? Also, when you say rinse... do you mean just hose it down?

Yes, rinse = a quick hose down (if that's even a word but you know what I mean)

Oh and just use caution under the engine bay but it's an 05 you should be okay...but still be carefull.

This is what I use on our cars and engine details that aren't horribly filthy. It works nicely.

another tip to cover electrical units is to use FOIL to wrap it because its easy to manipulate and it stays rather than a sarang wrap which doesnt really stay..

Aye, foil > saran wrap.
