Go to Home Depot and buy some "Zep Industrial Purple." It costs about fourteen bucks for a 3.7 litre jug and can be diluted way down. does an excellent job and all you have to do is spray it liberally on a warm engine. No scrubbing required! I've been using it for years and have never had a problem. Be sure to rinse well, of course.

What, 8 nuts and you can remove the front seats? Yank out the carpet, lay it in the middle of the driveway, hose it down, throw a cup of Tide laundry detergent on it, grab a brush with long handle and scrub the carpet. Let sit for half an hour, rinse, hang dry.
The smell from the Tide will stay in that carpet for a looong time. Beats any car air freshener.

Hmm. I do enjoy the smell of the ocean.. lol
That looks really good. My headlights are still fairly clear, so no need for that yet.

I allways use the cheap dollar store oven cleaner with no problems even on the fire wall and wheel wells . But check the wind dirrection you dont want to get any of the fumes. I've done this many times on customers car and all of mine a couple times a year .

After watching some videos on Youtube, a lot of toothpastes work. It seems like as long as it has a gritty texture. I'd say the arm and hammer is the best though.
sawwyy lol

It don't look too bad. I might give the UIM and valve cover another good scrub later the week.
