I believe the Camry's power steering reservoir leaks as well as the timing chain cover.

Replacing the timing chain cover gasket is a big deal.

I did a quick search and ChrisFix's supercleaning video was top, but something appeals to me about this one (he says it takes 5 minutes):

He covers the alternator with a grocery bag, sprays every surface with P21S 13001B Total Auto Wash, lets sit one minute, hoses it off, blows off the water, and takes it for a 10-minute drive.

How can it be a 5-minute job if you need to take it for a 10-minute drive?!

The liter bottle with a spray head is $26 on Amazon, but the 5-liter jug is $68. Obviously it doesn't have a spray head, but I can put it in a bottle from dollar tree.

However, he puts it in a pump sprayer, which seems much faster.

I watched a couple other videos and read a forum discussion. Everyone says that it works great, but the pump sprayer seems much faster!

Do you think that it would clean off the bottom of the Accord transmission?
