engine and wheels first mate
If you are spraying water and chemicals over the engine bay, like degreaser and dressing, then wise to do them first as you risk getting overspray on your nice shiny wings.

Looks a good job there fat boy ..where are the before shots !!

covered all the wings and wind screen with old towels so didnt get them covered but been wanting to do the engine for a few weeks now and the weather has been nice today so did it before the wind came and started blowin the degreaser everywhere,after all u can wash the body down in any weather so wanted the engine bay out the way.

nice job on cleaning up the bay....I do try to keep mine clean but always seems to get dirty quicker

Hmmmmmm...... you had a good play by the looks of it

Last time I did that, I spent the whole day with the pressure washer with the car on axle stands and me underneath getting all the mud off
