Went to town detailing the engine bay for an up coming car meet. I mean I went through everything including changing a lot of silver hose clamps to black, removing silver bolts for black, got a Rife vacuum block for the driver side firewall (no spaghetti).

What do you use when detailing the engine bay?

I always just used some Meg's APC on an old microfiber out of concern of hitting the wrong thing with too much liquid.

I don't use a harsh degreaser then pressure wash it clean. I just use a small brush and Dawn. I put a plastic grocery bag over the supercharger and alternator. Then I put my hose on mist to rinse and dry it with my DeWalt blower.

I use this Sonax Engine Dressing. Spray on and wipe with Microfiber towel. They sell it on Amazon too.

Plastic bag is a great idea. Engine dressing came out nice!

Not a lot but the windscreen decal turned out well. I also updated to Sync-3 USB port, changed the SiriusXM antenna to a 2018 antenna to stop the dropout.

Got the Mustang a new stable mate. Traded in my ‘21 Expedition Limited for a new ‘24 Expedition Limited with the HD trailer towing package and 15.5” console display. Loving it so far! Everything I liked about my ‘21 with some extra goodies. 👍

Got the car back from the dealer. It was having some shifting issues, a bump when shifting into R and a delay of 1-2 seconds when going into D. They put in a valve body rebuild kit. Also had the coolant changed since its six years old and now have the new updated one. I've only driven it a mile home from the dealer so the trans will take a few days to do its adaptive learning and I'll see how it goes.
