Super Jet How to clean engine bay?

[IWannaYama]

My buddy just picked up a 99 SJ. Its been sitting for a while and the engine bay is really dirty/moldy. Trying to get some ideas on how to get it cleaned up!
Thanks

some good ole simple green , purple power, etc.

bleach for the mold and then a good rinse...

i have great results with KRUD KUTTER. little more effective than most cheap degreasers

Get a long handle small brush to reach behind the small crevices. Dish soap works great, smells good, cuts grease, is cheap, and doesn't damage rubber hoses and soft materials. Then spot treat mold with Clorox Clean Up, it's nasty shizzel though so use plenty of water to wash it off.

See you Friday , hopefully at Boynton Inlet. maybe we'll even see Dmpus with his freshly reinforced barrel buster

if the engine bay is empty you can power wash it.

Fill empty hull with hot water and Tide laundry detergent, and let it soak for a few hours. It'll come out as clean as your socks.

IDK if thats a good idea then....

Interesting Idea. The HE detergent or the old school stuff?

I use Dawn. Squirt it in, add some hot water, scrub what you can reach then go do some subs to rinse it out. It's environmentally friendly.

spray everything down with purple power, let it sit for 10 minutes, repeat and fill the hull with about 3 inches of water/purple mix...drive to the lake. It'll be clean by the time you get there.

I've always used the powerwasher with it empty then finish the job with a brush and dish soap.

I've never heard of using laundry detergent....

Can of tire cleaner always worked well for me. Spray in, it foams up to all the crevices, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then spray it out with a hose. Cost like 3 bucks and works great. Isnt hard on wires or lines either.

purple power worked great.
thanks gents
