steam the best!

i u jet wash, water will get to your sprk plugs and rust them it fucks the engine up! Robs got this problem coz he has a bonnet vent and if water gets in the engine bag it fucks his spark plugs and he's gotta change them every month and his car looses power

There's nothing quite like a clean engine bay, , No Jet washing, just elbow grease.

Not too bad for a 7 year old car...



Or a month old one, lol.
