Engine Bay Cleaning Extravaganza! :D

Is it an extravaganza if I only clean under 3 hoods?

Well, compared to the normal amount of cleaning I do!

I could have cleaned Mom's engine bay, but it stays amazingly clean.
I also have that 2002 Civic, and I really need to pay Crazy J for whatever he has done and move it, but to where?!

That engine bay was also clean, at least when I bought it.

I bought the spray I linked in response to that video. It just hurt to pay 40% as much as the large container costs, for 20% as much, but I didn't seem to use that much, and I cleaned 3 engine bays!

2000 Civic for some reason:



1999 Accord:



2004 Camry


Here is a close-up of where the [visible] leaks are. Should I have taken an after?


It doesn't look significant in the pictures, but I was impressed, although real-world results don't match what some random guy shared on social media.

I am tempted to make note of which parts had the most dirt left on them, do this again, but quickly scrub those components with my power brush.

However, I really need to figure out where my leaks are!
