Can An Engine Compartment Be Cleaned With Armoral Tire Shine?

01-26-2007,04:29 PM

I was reading Justin`southward mail service on his new tire regimen after finding that my Walmart finally stocked up on some Armor All foam. He mentioned that he uses it for engine bays also. I was wondering whether I should utilize the tire cream earlier the degreaser (Elementary Light-green) or after the degreaser.

Too, I was wondering whether the tire foam volition cause any bug with the belts inside the automobile.

I would guess that you would degrease first, and after it`s clean the foam will dress the engine bay.

I would also avoid getting any dressing on the actual belts because you don`t want them to start slipping or anything.

I`ve used it both ways. If it`s really dirty, use the degreaser first. Since I keep my ain pretty clean, I merely spray information technology down with the foam once a month. I then come up back in 20 minutes and wipe it down with a MF hand.

This stuff really cleans. I have not had one problem with the belts. If anything, the silicone in the foam volition status them.

Cheers. I was also worried that the dressing would cause major slipping with the belts. No worries, I`ll encompass those areas up, then. It`s style too common cold recently, and then I`m probably gonna have to expect till spring comes around to do the engine item.

One more than question: With the Armor All, can I spray everything (metal, safe hoses, plastic)?

Definitely! I utilise this same exact way with my engine bay and really love it. And also... my bay was relatively new, and I was still impressed with the style it turned out. Dressing the engine bay makes a large difference, IMHO

I`ve tried this method before also. Not simply does the tire foam make clean as skilful as a lot of degreasers, its very quick. If its too shiney when your done, give it a quick wipe downward and it will matte the cease.
