'14 Engine Bay Detail

My 4Runner is about a year old with 13K on the clock. Have taken it all over the place and gotten it *really dirty and dusty.* Always washed with ONR, but never dealt with the engine bay. Until today.

Spent about 45 minutes getting it nice, in preparation for a full detail (including speedy towel claying, Klasse AIO/KSG, and maybe some carnauba wax.

Anyway, I just used old towels, some brushes, and ONR at quick detail dilution. Dressed it with Grigot Engine Bay Dressing. Here's how it came out:

[MENTION=98676]cd121082[/MENTION] there are plenty of others that are cheaper, I cannot attest to their quality. I already have some other Ram Mount stuff, most of it is fully interchangeable, like the Lego of mounting hardware.
 
Washed it. I took my time and made sure to get the roof, fender liners and other spots that are easily skipped during a quick wash. I then dried it off and put everything away nice and neat then realized I didnt wash the wheels. Doh! :der:

Yes - the sun has indeed been out in Seattle, and the seething pot of technological innovation has once again boiled over: Today saw the preliminary road testing of the new "solar task light sunroof recharging rack". We've fallen in love with these solar lights from Amazon:

This new version comes complete with USB recharging cables for cloudy days and easily replaceable rechargeable batteries.

The rack allows us to easily recharge the lights while we're out hiking, and we particularly don't miss the fingernails-on-chalkboard sounds of the lights skidding across the top of the dashboard as we drive around on curvy roads.

I clean my car all year long regardless of temps .. as long as the water doesn't freeze on contact or in the hose lines at the car wash, then I'm golden!

Going to war :uzi: with mother nature is always a fun pursuit for my 4R. :rockthrow:
