Time to clean the engine bay

[kenneth]

Well after looking at quite a few pics on here it makes me feel like shit.

I've been doing go fast Mods but never tried doing any appearance mods to the engine bay as of yet.

What I would like to start with are the SS braided hoses, but can't find them.
So where did you'll get them?
Do they come in a kit, or do you have to cut to fit?


Thanks

braided

Kevin at PMP will always do you right, but I think the best braided hose is Spectre Industries. They use a finer gauge wire that is more flexable and smooth to the touch (sounds gay) and cutting is much easier.

I've been running Spectre and although they look nice from the start, unless it's a garage queen, they'll loose their luster. Earl's provides some pretty flexible hoses.

That was actually first place I looked, just thought they would come in a kit by now.

Thanks, someone else reccomended the Spectre hoses also.

Very carefully. I use Meguiars APC+ with small amounts of water, trying to stay away from electrical connectors, than blow dry with a leaf blower. Than spray it down with a water based tire shine that can be diluted like Meguiars Hyperdressing. I use 4:1 for this.

Look at Emay's engine bay cleaning thread Kenneth, it works wonders
