How to clean evo engine?
I go up to the self car wash and use the engine/wheel cleaner option. Its the green soap on low pressure, it degreeses everyting makes everying look new in seconds. I spray it with the spot free rinse, so it's not too high of pressure and it wont spot when it dries. Its great for all the hard to reach places!!!
The water and the hot Exhaust mani don't have an issue?
Id think not but Iv only have my Evo a lil while and when I washed the car after it was hot water rolled down in the vent and steam came out so I got a lil worried about it cracking and waited for it to cool down before continuing.

Water will not hurt anything but getting into the intake. THink about how many people drive in the rain... Water gets everywhere... the degreaser, hose water, or if you can hook the hose up to your laundry room tap and get hot water, that works real well. All you need is some sort of polished, some cue-tips, and patients. There are so many places where dirt gets that seems impossible to clean, so just take your time. I usualy start on the top and work my way down. Then go to all the hoses and connectors. I would give yourself at least an hour to do it all...
I never use water in the engine bay. Cover the intake and get some cleaner / polish from a motorcycle dealer.
I have a GSXR-1000 and you can literally spray this stuff on plastic, mirrors, wheels, rims, seats and electronics. It cleans, polishes and repels dirt/grime.
I spray the engine bay and wipe with a microfiber towel.
You can touch up the hoses and lines with wheel detailer for a shine.

Go to one of those DIY washing places. Pop the hood, and get the pressure washer and set for engine clean and spray that ***** on the engine. Make sure that you are quick and cover the intake with a plastic bag.
While I've seen many people use the "engine wash" option at my local self service car wash; it always scares me to take a hose and spray down the engine bay.
I prefer the elbow grease method of hand wipes to clean off any grease and grime, followed by some engine detailer (or quick detailer).
I like to use Lexol Vinylex on rubber and plastic surfaces; it leaves a very nice non-greasy finish that's not too shiny (more of a matte finish).

I hate to quote myself, but everyone is spewing random BS in here. Take my word - Yes rain gets in your engine bay but you don't need it to clean the engine bay.
Use the Honda Spray and you will like the results.

Those degreasers always make me nervous. One of the first times i used an engine degreaser to clean the engine bay of my porsche 944. a few drops got on the front bumper and kind of blotched up the paint.
Would this honda spray stuff do that too? Where do you get the honda spray stuff at? I did a search and also found that a lot of people use Simple Green too...

I think I am going to do the same and check into the Honda spray. Maybe I'll just change the name to Mitsubishi spray so the car doesn't see it.
They are made with weather packs, you just have to be smart where you spray the water, and how high pressure you spray it.
Its always good to do it while its running too!
