If you are a vehicle owner who commits to cleaning your car's engine regularly, there may be some mechanical benefits to this practice. To reap any improvement or longevity that results from this practice, though, it must be done properly.

Setting time aside to clean your car's engine is the first step of this process, because the engine must be cool before you begin to work on it. After that, gently spraying under the hood with water, scrubbing with a degreaser, and rinsing completes the entire process of cleaning your car's engine. Of course, it should be allowed to dry afterwards, as well.

There are many precautions that should be taken when you clean your car's engine. Ensuring you do not disconnect any hoses, scrub too hard on sensitive connections, or get too much water into places it should not be are pertinent. The professionals at Century BMW know the ins and outs of this process, so if you find it to be too overwhelming you can schedule an appointment and leave it to our team.
