Author Topic: Engine dress up tips? 166 Merlo FELONY MOTORSPORTS Member # 1549 posted                              I'd like to make my engine compartment look nice. What do you guys use to clean up in there? Will brake clean take the enamel paint off my block? Don't want that, I know windex works good for chrome. -------------------- '89 - Boss Coupe '70 - Drop Cutthang '68 - Cougnut '87 - 0166, Its real Posts: 3954 | From: Thebay | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : AcesWild85 ¯ Member # 2616 posted                              Simple Green -------------------- College student and U.S. Marine; The possibilities are endless...

It won't damage rubber hoses. Most detail shops have it.
