Cleaning the engine - 3/14/2008 11:51:02 AM    dodgesrt05   Posts: 5 Joined: 5/17/2007 Status: offline any recommendations on cleaning the srt enging compartment? I would like to take it to this Drivers Source company around the corner from home that sells nothing but high end speed vehicles for people with money. Their detailing service runs from 100 on up depending on what you want done and type of vehicle is being detail. my main concern is cleaning the engine and wonder if spraying it with water would hurt it any. any thoughts, comments??? thanks Post #: 1

It has worked well for me without any problems. Don't use a power washer though, I bet the guys at the shop would probably do it that for convenience. _____________________________ srt10boy (in reply to 94rt10ohio) Post #: 3
