How do professional detailers safely clean an engine bay? In this video, Thomas Laberge from @labautodetail demonstrates his complete engine bay cleaning process, step by step.
Many car owners worry about using water or a pressure washer around engines and electrical components. Thomas explains the precautions he takes, the tools and cleaners he uses, and how he tackles dirt, grease, drying, and dressing for a factory-fresh finish.
I’m stepping behind the camera for this special collaboration! Along the way, I’ll ask questions, share my own insights, and highlight practical tips you can use in your detailing routine. There’s more than one way to achieve great results, and it’s always interesting to learn from another professional.
This is part one of our LAB Auto Detail collaboration:
• Part 1: Engine Bay Detailing
• Part 2: Exterior Maintenance Wash
• Part 3: Interior Detailing
IMPORTANT: Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidance. Let hot components cool, and avoid directing high-pressure water at sensitive electrical parts, exposed connections, air intakes, or damaged seals.
Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
