Just wash it.

I wouldn't be concerned at all by looking at that.

All 4.6s look that way.

I was hoping you were going to answer! Have I ever told you how much I appreciate your knowledge?!

All 4.6's look that way because they seep a bit?


I'll keep an eye on it after it's cleaned. Could be right on the Armor All too. My FIL is an Armor All slut. I hate every product they make and none of it has touched the car since I have owned it. Engine was spotless when I received the car, so I bet he cleaned if from time to time.


Engine is fairly clean so I think I'll use a Citrus Degreaser instead of the Gunk stuff which had a crazy chemical smell. Only things recommended to cover in manual when cleaning were fuse box, air filter and battery? Why no alternator? Do I need to cover those electrical connections shown on the coil packs in the pictures?

Any other suggestions for giving the plastic a good shine once it's clean? The Gunk shine/protectant didn't smell bad and gave a good looking finish so I might just use that. Anywhere I shouldn't spray the shine product? Videos I have seen online just show guys literally spraying the shit out of the entire engine compartment, then getting excess off with microfiber towels. Looks pretty damn good when done.


Thanks for the help.
