Alright I have been getting into the car show circut lately I have learned of great ways to clean up my truck and detail my engine, but the one thing I still lack is the underside of the hood. After time it sterts to get a lot of water spots on the underside of the hood, What I want to know is there any better way to clean the underside other than the time consuming hand cleaning every inch? I just think there should be a much quicker way to do it I just dont know what it is.

 

While I'm not '****' about details, I am able to keep things looking pretty darned good -- and I took to heart that old Dupont commercial "...Better living, thru Chemicals..." -- and use a "Klean-Shower" clone to eliminate water-spots in my engine compartment.

A "show car" underhood requires the same prep, paint, and care that outside surfaces do. Basically, alot of elbow grease. Once the surface is polished and waxed, it becomes easier. Water should be dried off before it spots, and it dries faster due to engine heat.

Buy an air compressor,quickest(but not the cheapest)way to avoid water spots
