when its 5 am and you got school tomorrow but pan is better than sleep
6am for me.
To be fair your probably learning more in 11 mins than a day in school.
LOL
Hehe I love it!
Im hella late to the party but I agree. 11:57pm due awake at 2:40am for work and still rocking out to pan videos lol
A couple of extra points Pan, I am a mechanic and I wash engine bays all the time. firstly, cleaning an engine bay is generally a good thing if you live in the salt belt like us. Salt build up can cause all kinds of corossion problems. Secondly, wash the engine when it is warm, not either cold or very hot. Thirdly, always go for a drive afterwards or at least warm the engine to operating temperature to evaporate any reamaining water.
@Saskatchewan1913 Have you ever ran into where using pressure washer forced water into something that caused car not to start after cleaning an engine? Do you recommend covering alternator with plastic first? I have a 2007 Kia Rondo so not sure how well they protected connectors back then.
@@joelpasserell4525 Only had a problem myself on an old Jaguar but I have seen damage caused by other people using a pressure washer too close. If you are just washing off loose dirt or salt use a hose or a pressure washer from a distance. Alternator should be fine but always run the engine to operating temp afterwards help evaporate and water left on the surfaces.
@@saskatchewan1913 Hi! Can I ask you some questions on cleaning engine bays thru email?
@@joelpasserell4525 do i need to cover the battery and fuse box in a subaru legacy?
@md h I've detailed a few engines, but I'm not an expert. I think you meant to reply to saskatchewan1913 instead of me.🤔 IMO I'd say you're OK without covering the battery. Use a leaf blower or other specialized blower to dry it off. If it's a newer model car, check the fuse box cover. If it over hangs the base where fuses are and no cables enter from the sides, you should be ok there too. If you're really concerned about it then use a hose with nozzle attachment with the shower setting. You can rinse both eoff using that, & there should be no worries. IMO, using a degreaser like super clean diluted 5:1, along with some brush agitation, water pressure from a hose should be all that's needed.
Often overlooked part of a complete detail. Awesome video pan! One tip, before you start spraying water, double check all visible fluid reservoir caps and the dip stick (if your car still has) to make sure they are on properly. Had a customer tow their vehicle in because the master cylinder cap wasn't on properly and they ended up getting water into the brake fluid.
Great tip!
A refreshed engine detail, my man. Thanks Pan, we needed a good updated one especially with your current product go to's for this!
You bet!
Good timing. Was thinking about doing an engine bay detail this weekend. Looks very good. Don't have a pressure washer but otherwise looks fairly straightforward.
Fantastic video as always. You're vids are almost like some sort of relaxing therapy to watch! Very satisfying and exquisite work 👍
Thanks Joe!
Beautiful car Pan- congratulations and nice job on the engine detail!
Great results! The exhaust tone is perfect too
I think so too!
Beautiful turnaround on the engine Bay. Definitely compliments that BMW. 👍 🇨🇦
Now that's a detailed engine bay,the definition of keeping it clean!
I would really like to see an example of a trashed engine bay being done. Especially a car that has been undercoated. Love your channel Pan hope you can make this happen :)
Thanks for the kind words Lee! What's your favourite video on my channel so far?
I'm not really into the business of detailing filthy disgusting cars like some channels who are riding the wave of "the dirtiest car ever, nasty filthy dirty puke!" style hahaha. I focus on higher end details. After 24 years of detailing, I get to pick my projects that make me happy too.
But I detailed a dirtier engine bay in this video: czcams.com/video/6LwCbmvLYb0/video.html
Incredible! I'll definitely try!
Very timely idea Pan. And I love that throaty exhaust.
Glad you like it!
Thank you! Love your content and just what I was looking for. Simple. Straight to the point. Wishing you continued success.
Thanks Lowell! I appreciate it. How did you discover my channel by the way?

crazy, just watched your older video on this topic just yesterday! great stuff as always pan!
Thanks again!
I was AMAZED, DIRT on Pans engine bay!
LOL Yup after our disgusting winters in Canada this is what happens. But you still have to agree it wasn't that bad. It was still cleaner than 99% of engine bays on the road haha.

Awesome quick engine bay clean video. Thanks Pan!
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome. I am looking forward to doing this as my engine is not looking great. I took your tips from your interior cleaning video and I loved it. Keep up the awesome work.
Great to hear!
I had plenty of questions beforehand because I`ve never cleaned an engine bay and they are all answered now, including the products I had in mind to use! Thanks a lot
Thanks John!
Amazing video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure what is more impressive: the engine itself or the detail?? 🤔 Both AWESOME!! Thanks Pan. Blessings from 🇺🇸
GGG
Hehe thanks I appreciate it!
Merci!! Pan belle finition 😊👍🏽
Helloooo Pan! Love engine bay detail videos. Yours started looking great just by using your detail brush. Really nice matte finish aterwards. Nicely done!
Thanks 👍
Loved that Engine Sound...
Thanks Pan! My wife is going to kill me for spending too much time in the garage washing my engine bay this weekend!! LOL
Great demonstration as always! 👍
I love the Wednesday morning Pan video with my cup of coffee. Yesterday my BFF gave me a Pan t-shirt and made my day! Now if this snow would go away so I could detail my GC.
That's a good friend!
That's great! What shirt did you get? What color? :)

Thanks David! Glad to hear you have a clean looking engine bay now, thanks to my tips!
Watched your older video and this 1 also, and I hope I built enough courage to detail the engine bay of my Lincoln Corsair 2022.
Thanks, PAAAN!
👍🏻
Used your techniques on the engine bay in my Macan and wow! It looks brand new. The greenstar really got all the grime loose and the motorplast gave it a near show quality finish. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your skills, Pan!
Thanks for the positive feedback! I appreciate it. Congrats on your Macan! Love those. What color is yours?
@@PanTheOrganizer Dark Blue Metallic with the 20” Spyder rs wheels. My first Porsche and my first time detailing, I love it 😅
can you use gyeon q2m to pre rinse the engine bay or is gsm on product that is safe .
Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻
My pleasure!
Awesome thank you!
You bet!
Great job Pan looks awesome I don’t know if do to my truck 👍🏾
Thanks 👍
The Motorplast is amazing. I've never had such a great result from any other similar product. Simply an outstanding, better-than-new appearance.
👍🏻
This video came in just in time. I was here researching what products to use to wash my engine bay today
It's as if I read my viewers' minds! :)
Thank you for doing such hard work. We like your videos a lot.

Nice video Pan as always. Can you do a video with a water less engine bay detailing... for those like me who are afraid to use water. Thanks
What a beautiful engine

Watched your pressure washer show. Great stuff. Have the Active 2.0 in the basket.
Thanks again my friend.
OH Pan look at that undercarriage, you're letting this car get out of hand with the dirt. ;-)
Hahahah it's just the first part of the spring cleanup. Plus, as I live in a brand new house in a new development, they haven't paved the roads yet so I have to be patient for a few months still.
Well done ! Good video
Glad you enjoyed it
That final look brought tears to my eyes 👀 absolutely amazing!
Very nice video! Simple and effective and will work for almost any vehicle. There are mud lovers out there though. Which would mean a few more hours of work :)
Looks great Pan! I've got the 2021 M440i convertible, love the brand. Looks like I'll be liftin' up the hood this weekend. Thanks for the video, a great tutorial.
Congrats on the new whip Ed!! What color did you get??
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan. Dravit Grey metallic exterior and Tacora Red interior.
Great tutorial. I’m still hesitant to wash my ‘18 truck engine bay. But it really needs one
You can do it!
You the man Pan! I have learned a lot from your channel
I appreciate that! What's your favourite video on my channel so far Eli?
@@PanTheOrganizer your videos on product reviews
I cleaned my engine bay yesterday before knowing this was on CZcams.Happy to say all good..covered the engines alternator with a plastic bag...air dryed as not going anywhere. ANY apc will do.
Cool. A clean engine is so satisfying!
That thing is a beast...
that spray pump with foam is awesome !
Great video Pan! I was just wondering if you could answer a question. I like to overland in my FJ. Many times it’s dusty and sometimes it’s muddy. I still like to clean the FJ when I get home. A thorough cleaning helps me find any possible damage and it looks good!
My question with the ph 7.5 + 12.5 would it be too harsh to use maybe 3 times a year? Such as beginning of Spring, mid-summer, late fall.
Thanks! Keep enjoying life!
Juste de passage pour saluer et "poucer" les versions bilingue de notre amis Pan 😉
Bonne journée Pan et à tous !
Je plussoie des 10 doigts !
Great job, I was going to ask you how to detail engine, then I found this video. Thanks pan
I have Camry hybrid 2017 is it the same procedure?
I like watching your videos, you really know what you are doing. I have always been a little nervous about doing a wet engine bay clean, but i like to wipe it down when i'm cleaning my truck. what would you recommend putting on my tonneau cover to keep it looking good ?
Thanks for all your videos I have learned a lot from them thank you God bless 🙌🙏
You are so welcome! How did you discover my channel?
I was checking for products feedback and your name kept popping out and I decided to check your channel, and was pleased with how you explained and show how everything works that know I'm shopping from the website you provided, Thank for providing knowledge with others.
Hi Pan, love your channel and all the work that you do! I have a X1 and every time after I wash and clean the wheels + rims and drive my car I always hear a squeaking/whistling sound from my brakes for a while before it goes away. Is this normal due to the moisture from washing? Have a great weekend!!
Looks great Pan, I am just getting ready to do my truck and wife's car so thanks for the timely tips. But please explain to my wife why I have to buy more product!!!
Thats one nice sounding 👌 beemer Pan 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome job
Thanks!
Looks unreal Pan nice car 🚗
Thanks Paul!
Love your comment "Beast of an Engine" Thanks as always for your expert tuition.
Thanks Simon!! :).
Nice for those who actually have an indoor shop to do this, I don't make enough to have one.
Great video. Thumbs up here from Denmark. I have a hybrid where the hybrid part is aluminium, and it is not covered in so much plastic as your car. What too too.
Love your videos. Do you have or can you make a video about cleaning carbon fiber parts inside and exterior parts. of gloss and matte finish?
Wow amazing results Pan even if it is not museum like finish. Will later down the line make a more lengthy video on detailing an engine bay as a museum like finish for people who want show their cars off in a autoshow?
This is just eye candy. Just wow.
😎👍🏻
Pan, hats off to you fella, that is one gorgeous lump in that engine bay ( apologies, but it would have to have a Remus Sound System to complement its looks. One of my sons put a switchable Remus on his M240 & I was so so tempted to take it off his hands when he bought the CarbonFiber infested Competition M4 just for the music outta the back end. Unfortunately my damaged body did struggle just getting out of the thing so that time head did rule my heart) I digress, I gotta remove all my engine covers & see what state my LS460 is in,, //vey comfortable indeed.. Back to detailing, thanks Pan, I will follow your lead & get her cleaned & tidy under the covers. If I can get them all off. My engine is totally above & below, covered..
Pan this is unsat I expected your engine bay to look better than the showroom floor model at all times! Hahaha
LOL Yup after our disgusting winters in Canada this is what happens. But you still have to agree it wasn't that bad. It was still cleaner than 99% of engine bays on the road haha. And if it was always clean, I wouldn't be able to make a tutorial.
Hi, a added tip is make sure you lubricate the hinges and catches after you have finished detailing your engine bay because the APC or degreaser may have dried out the greases on your hinges. If you don’t eventually you will have problems with the hinges and possibly the alignment of the hood. Thanks for another fabulous video Pan. 👍🇬🇧😀
Good tip!
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks 😊we learned the hard way, our first GT-R’s bonnet started to catch at the top by the windscreen and traced it to a lack of lubricant on the hinge 😩
😱
Nice...👍👍👌
Thanks 😊
Wow that v8 is a real singing beauty !
It sure is! I loved owning that car.

Hey Pan, for the heat shield part can we use an extractor vacuum just like you would when drying carpets?
Good video.
How about an air dryer comparison video? Bunch of them out there. Which is best? What do you look for? Is the Blu brand any good?
I find giving the engine bay a once over after each or ever other wash is helpful. It also prevents the engine from getting to the point where it needs chemicals to keep it clean.
Great point!
I would be really nervous power washing the engine with the newer cars with all the electronics and chips in the engine bay. But you are the professional pan and I’m going to give it a go. Good video thanks
Use common sense and good practices and there are no worries. I have detailed hundreds of engine bays in my life, and never had a single issue.
@@PanTheOrganizer will do that was the plan after watching how good your bmw came out.
Great video thanks Pan! I'm always worried about getting the spark plug areas wet and electronics.
Same 😆
Not all engines have those big plastic covers that protect components, it's important to know the engine you are cleaning, for instance the MK2 vivaro vans are prone to seized injectors from water getting into the wells, I had a Renault Megan 225 sport that had seized spark plugs from water ingress, and these type of things happen over time, you can clean your engine but years later when an injector needs replacing you get a call that it is seized by rust.....always best to pay extra attention to any "wells" places where water can sit, use a blower and some wd40 to disperse any moisture, fuse boxes are another thing to be careful of, some are not designed or designed well enough to take a full soaking and again it could take time for any issues to show up by which time you'd unlikely think the engine clean was the cause.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job and relatively quick+easy. My 2002 diesel with its ancient ECU sitting on top (up against the insulation when the hood's down) scares me off this job.
Separate question - I have just upgraded my Focus with a Recaro ST leather interior. Love it, but after detailing and conditioning the leather and the plastics I still get the whiff of the previous owner's cigarettes (the door cards seem to be the culprit). Starting to really bother me. Recommend a good interior neutraliser - rather than masker - for tobacco odour?
