Tire foam to clean Engine?
I hear that tire foam sprayed on the engine, to clean the grime, is the best thing to use. Anybody done this before? How well did it work for you?

RE: Tire foam to clean Engine?
regular engine degreaser works far better ... tire shine attracts dust

RE: Tire foam to clean Engine?
That is my secret to keeping my engine clean
. It'll attract dust, but not right away, it stays clean for quite a while! Just make sure you at least wipe it off after a while....but keeps the hoses perfect(no cracking will ever occur) and the plastics shiny! Just don't spray directly onto your alternator and you're set. But I've been using tire foam on my engine bay for the last 4 years....

RE: Tire foam to clean Engine?
What would you recommend, for an engine cleaner? Should I use an engine cleaner first and then use tire foam, as a shiner?

If you have access to a steam cleaner that works wonders ....

I didn't use the foam but, I cleaned this engine today with a pressure washer, engine degreaser, paint thinner(be very cautious), 400 grit sandpaper, mothers mag aluminum polish, armorall tire shine, and some microfiber rags...
