Looks great Scott! Is it an every day driver?
Now you just need to add some Bling Bling.

another friend also recommended using something like simple green, then using the "steam" at the carwash to remove it. wonder how that would work?

I dont know how the 05 GT intake is going to like simple green, i'd at least test it on a small un-noticable area first. Once you do that and it turns out ok, go for it.

I wish I had a pressure washer, that'd make it alot quicker and make sure you get all the simple green out. I would regulate it though so it wouldnt be a full power blast, just more than what a water hose can provide.

Scott,
You must have the best looking 125K mile engine bay I have ever seen. :worship:
Mine is easy to keep clean, I keep it in the garage until it is dry out and I never get it off the pavement.

It's best to clean your engine when it's cold. Even Simple Green on a warm motor will turn your aluminum pieces white. Also, cleaning a motor when it's hot you take a chance of breaking the spark plugs.

Skip you are right, but I do it on a slightly warm motor just so that after you've sprayed the motor off with water, it doesnt take forever for the car to reach normal operating temps and help evaporate all the water.
