![]() Hello,
It's a very clean looking car and when me and the wife took it out for a test drive, it was love at first site. Just got a 04 Mustang GT 4.6. The engine had only 20,000 miles when we got it. The Ford dealership, JFK Ford, Feasterville, PA kept the motor clean by steam cleaning it. But now the block has all these deposits on it. Not GREASE!!! Is there a cleaner out there in the market that can get my motor to look brand new without painting it. I could go out there with my finger nail but that would take forever. There easy enough to get off, I just want to do it in a quick, non hazardous way of getting them off, I have no garage. The block is aluminum. So if you tell me soap and water is good enough then so be it. I'll be outside with a tooth brush cleaning. ![]() Thanks |

![]() Close the hood and drive the car?
![]() Engine degreaser or Simple Green at full strength will get pretty much anything clean, but you'll need to rinse with a high pressure hose after. Seriously though, a motor is going to get dirty. Is this a show car or something? Keep the paint clean and enjoy it. ![]()

![]() What, you don't keep your motor clean? If you read my first post you would see that it's not grease or oil, it's those little white specks that build up on aluminum after steam cleaning it.
No kidding it's going to get dirty! I figured you guys would take care of both body and what's under the hood. The hoods been closed and I've been driving. It's just that there is a lot of deposit built up and I simply asked what works best. 1st time Mustang owner here. It's just been a long time since I owned a NICE ride. I want to take care of it as best as I can. And it is definetly NO ricer. "I will add MODS rather than facades." I don't know you, but thanks for the reply. Just keep your sarcasm to yourself next time. Last edited by amongtheliving; 02-25-2007 at 10:20 AM.. |

![]() The white spots are there because it was "hard" water that got used on the block. If it had been distilled you wouldn't haven that problem.
Of course, if you could take a little good natured ribbing once in a while, you'd probably have a lot less problems. Maybe you should buy a Civic next time.
