  1. Clean the residue<\/b>: Your car\u2019s vents, hood and grille are breeding grounds for dirt build-up. You could blow them out with compressed air or a compact hand brush.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Set the temperature:<\/b> After your engine is warmed up to a moderate temperature (not too high and not too cool), wipe off the softened grease.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Cover necessary areas<\/b>: There are some parts you must keep covered when getting ready to clean your car, such as spark plug openings, alternator, distributor, sensors and electrical wiring. Don\u2019t forget to place a towel or an absorbent mat on the engine\u2019s oil drip pan to catch any toxic waste.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Spray with an engine cleaner<\/b>: After you have covered and encased the wiring completely, spray the engine with an engine cleaner. Petroleum cleaners can be damaging to the vinyl and rubber compartment so consider a water-based or citrus cleaner. For more stubborn patches, let the cleaner soak in for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Rinse and unwrap:<\/b> After the engine cleaner has done its job, rinse and clean the engine with water. Remove the bags, towel or any other absorbent papers that you used to keep the wiring safe. Also, remove the excess moisture collected by compressed air.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Let the engine burn<\/b>: Now that the engine has been cleaned thoroughly, get it running so that the hard-to-reach areas of the interior can get dried. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
