Engine Bay Cleaned!
Hey guys just wanted to show my engine bay. I just cleaned it today. First time since I got the car from the dealership 2 yrs. ago 
Its a big difference compared when it was all dusty and dirty.
All stock and no mods in the engine dept. so don't be hatin'
Let me know what you think

Make sure your engine is cool before cleaning and after you're done you gotta turn on the engine to warm it up and let the remaining wet spots evaporate faster.

Well basically we covered the alternator and a few wires. I can't remember which wires anymore
Make sure you use a hose nozzle then choose shower so you won't have too much water pressure.
