I would like to clean under the hood of my monte. Get all the gross out. Any suggestions or good cleaners? Should I cover anything up if I do a degreasing?

Thanks!

 

I've used a Shark steam cleaner and Simple Green. Don't get the alternator wet.

 

there is a video posted by jaws2008 his video is located here. they are some great detailing videos

 

I've completely degreased my engines in the past, coving air intakes only. I've never had a problem spraying all the degreasing agent off with hose water. After I'm done, I typically let the car drip for about 10 minutes and then start it for another ten to try and remove the rest.

Never had a problem with anything. And right now I have a '94 Grand Am with the original altenator. Owned it since '03 with about 86K on it and today has well over 200K.

Granted, i might just be "lucky" to never have a problem with any of my cars.

 

I just cover my K&N intake spray it with a de-greaser (Becarfull not to get on paint) let it set and hose off (Usally I warm up the engine a bit. Let her stand for a bit like mentioned an fire her up to continue to dry. I never had a problem in th 5 years I had my 06 monte

 

So just cover the alternator really? Everything else should be fine? I have never cleaned the engine bay of my '04
