What builds up under the hood
Dust, leaves and road grime collect in the engine bay, especially on dirt roads. Over time it mixes with small amounts of oil and turns into a grimy film.
It is easy to ignore, until you pop the hood to show a buyer or a mechanic.
Why people clean it
A clean engine bay looks cared for when you sell. It also makes it easier to spot a new leak, because fresh drips stand out on a clean surface.
It is a small add-on that makes a full detail feel complete.
How it is done safely
Sensitive parts are covered, the grime is loosened with the right cleaner and gentle brushes, and it is rinsed with care rather than blasted.
Engine bay cleaning is available with any detail. Ask about it when you book.
