To solve the problem of cleaning the engine from stuck dirt, some car owners go to a car wash for help, others wash the engine themselves with automotive chemicals. Both options have their own peculiarities, which the AvtoVzglyad portal has come up with.
Today, on many modern cars, as standard, a normal “protection” is installed in the lower part of the engine compartment. As a rule, it is a molded plastic housing. Granted, advanced drivers often turn it into a more powerful analog, punched from a sheet of steel. Indeed, it protects the engine well against stones and bits of ice on the road, but it does not protect well against the ingress of water, salt solutions and dirt, so this is not much different from its plastic counterpart.
Not surprisingly, the motor housing gets covered in a fairly decent layer of oily grime over time. Not only does this create inconvenience for the maintenance of the unit, but it also negatively affects its operation, as dirt hinders the necessary heat transfer between the engine cooling jacket and the external environment.
However, fixing such a defect is quite easy by using a pressure washer. Its powerful jet quickly removes dirt from the surface of every unit and unit in the engine compartment. Almost all car services, including some gas stations, offer a similar service these days.
Meanwhile, as evidenced by extensive service practices, washing a car engine with a pressure washer is often not done very well. In addition, car wash operators do it with obvious violations of technology, which in turn often leads to serious engine failure.
We confirm this first hand. In our practice, several indicative facts were found when the unprofessional behavior of employees of car washes led to critical (up to replacement of nodes) violations in the electrical equipment of the car. There were also more dangerous situations when illiterate engine washing led to ignition of the electrical wiring followed by burnout of the engine compartment.
It is not surprising that today many car owners, who do not trust the “washing machines”, prefer to clean the power unit themselves, since there are enough drugs on the market for this. Yes, we really have a lot of funds in this category, the only question is how effective are they…
The fact is that engine cleaners can be offered for sale in a wide variety of designs. The most popular positions are liquid preparations, sprays, as well as aerosols, including foam. It is the latter that are becoming increasingly popular, as they have a number of clear advantages compared to other analogues.
The qualities mentioned can be considered the example of the Ruseff household engine cleaner. It comes in the form of an aerosol with a custom atomizer that allows you to treat even hard-to-reach places in the engine compartment with high quality. The foam layer that forms in this case, unlike liquids and sprays, practically does not flow down from vertical surfaces, which significantly increases the cleaning efficiency.
With a high penetrating power, the composition quickly impregnates and softens even dense old layers of dirt that adhere to the motor housing. Such a “soaking” takes on average no longer than 20 minutes, after which the dirt “foamed” by the Ruseff cleaner is washed away with water without any problems. It is important to note that, despite the high penetrating effect, the drug is chemically neutral to rubber, plastic and metal parts.
