From when my RSX was new. Now there's an Injen CAI in place of that gigantic stock airbox, and the engine bay is significantly dirtier.

werd...

step 1 - use a shop vac or compressed air to blow out all debris - be careful not to to break brittle plastic or vaccuum lines

step 2 - spray everything with simple green - let sit

step 3 - use a body brush (yes the same one i use on my wheels) to agitate the dirt and grease - on hard spots, use some elbow grease and appropriate brushes (toothbrush etc)

step 4 - rinse the bay with a pesticide sprayer and water (i use distilled water so water spots are less likely to show up on all the surfaces)

step 5 - repeat step 1

step 6 - Dress engine bay with product that isnt bad for rubber (dont use tire shine) - let product sit

step 7 - wipe off excess product

step 8 - take pictures!

or if u want i can do it for you
