Meguiar's New Engine Clean and Engine Dressing

[kthankxbye]

OMFG I would never spray that crap on my engine or hose it down like that.

[moeramz]

V12 BEAST!!!

[RudeMcNasty]

What is frustrating about your video is the lack of information about your products, what makes it superior over literally hundreds of other products that do a fairly decent/fantastic job?

The music if you want to call it that is terrible! You make good products lousy videos.

[bank0fengland]

that is one fat engine

[wheelsjz]

@bank0fengland I think its a mercedes SL600 V12.

[zipper978]

@bank0fengland its a v12

[Youstupidheffer]

hm must be for really passionate car enthusiasts. I think cleaning the engine to that extent is unnecessary but whatever floats your boat..

[terzolilu]

does the car start after this?

[markahomer]

Engine + electronics + hosed on water? How intelligent.

[DAZZER435]

do the undertrays need to be taken out before the engineis cleaned.

[meguiarsasia]

@DAZZER435 yes you can, it just depends on how an depth of a clean you want.

[julzmax956]

You want some seriously tough cleaner on your motor try Eagle one mag cleaner on aluminum parts. Now that will clean all your gunk and will leave it looking like new aluminum...

[meguiarsasia]

@DAZZER435 this is the wheel face brush

[superwhiz88]

never for ever spray cold water on your hot engine.. remember these are aluminum heads.. cold water will crack it easily .. then it would be an expensive thousand dollar car wash

[julzmax956]

@superwhiz88 it says to warm up the engine not drive for an hour and spray product on. .

[lordaboveall]

@superwhiz88 i know people who have 100,000 pound washes

[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

looks like someone just had a catastrophic gasket failure and sprayed everything under the hood with oil

[apexchampion]

Nice vid. Very helpful. What's up with the gay porn music?

[oneofakindtrini]

is it safe to hose down a engine?

[wirsindheldenowns]

holy v12!

[pitbullizer90]

V12 power^^

[im10pplok]

I like the song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[202brabus]

Wont dirt cake on the dressing later on? Engine looks like it was sprayed with tire shine. Tire shine or engine dressing... same difference. Easier to replace plastic bits with new parts to keep that new look instead of spraying gunk on it.

[meguiarsasia]

@202brabus if you want less shine, you can use a towel and rub the areas to lessen the shine. You can also choose not to use the dressing for an OEM look.

[RKapralov]

@meguiarsasia OR you can always use a dressing that leaves a matte finish. Something like 303 Aerospace Protectant , Adam's VRT, or Opti-bond diluted 1:1. There are plenty of other dressings that really do a great job of protecting without leaving the surface all oily and nasty. All the products I mentioned are water based, they give rubber, vinyl, and plastic a natural brand new look but are completely dry to the touch, no dirt is attracted to it.

[Goodie734]

[RacerE7773]

It IS too bad this isn't available here. I have to make do with simple green or similar.

[EatWatYouKill]

i have a benz lol

[MKRM27]

@EatWatYouKill lol - what is so funny

[86pacer]

Too bad this is only sold outside the US. Here I use a product called CD-2 Engine Detailer sold at Autozone. It works fantastic. I wish they sold this Meguiar's one here though, since every Meguiar's product I use blows me away and keeps me coming back for more. The only time I don't use Meguiar's is when they don't make it or I can't buy it like these two products.

[mason0392]

@86pacer Look on Amazon, they have a bunch of Meguiars products. I just bought some Gold Class Trim Detailer off there because I couldn't find it anywhere around where I live.

[86pacer]

@mason0392

I buy Gold Class Trim Detailer locally at Orchard Supply Hardware for $4.99. It's a great product.

Meguair's Engine Dressing is only available on the UK Amazone site, and during the checkout process it tells you they can't ship it to the US so U can't even buy it there. I'd really like to know why it isn't sold here in the US along with all their other products.

[meguiarsasia]

Basically the US team feels there is no need for every line item with lack of demand. If you feel there IS a need, please let the US team know! Call them for more info at 1-800-347-5700

Hours: M-F 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Pacific)

Saturday 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Pacific)

[lilg00b]

@meguiarsasia feels there is no need for it? This engine clean and dressing would be a lot easier for me.

[bloodseedrums]

hardly very dirty start off

[weezyana98]

Hi buddy! Do u sell these products in Sweden?

And whats the name of the song ? :)

[PI5T0LP3T3]

I have a Mercedes ML63amg. This video is obviously perfect for what I am trying to do but, I can't locate the engine cleaner or dressing off of the Meguiars website. Can you provide me with a link for this?

[meguiarsasia]

@PI5T0LP3T3 it is only sold outside the USA

[86pacer]

What is the reason they don't sell these in the US?

[meguiarsasia]

its a different market

[petp]

@86pacer because theres too many stupid idiots in the USA who'll flood their engines (intakes, alternators, carbs) and then try to sue meguiars for their stupidity. shame, this product looks awesome, especially the engine dressing.

megs please sell it in the USA, just put a huge warning sticker on it or something.

[Liberaltedjo]

woooow, good car

[go278]

I have 2004 Mercedes ML350. I would like to clean the engine. Alternator and distributor cap is there anything else need to cover? To warm up the engine how long do I need to run the engine (10 minutes?). The final step - after you clean the engine and applied the dressing, closed the hood and start washing the car 10-15minutes. Should I let the engine turn on or just leave it off while washing the car? Thanks for sharing the video, it is great!

[meguiarsasia]

let the engine get warm enough to hold hand above engine but not too hot....you do not want the cleaner to dry too fast...i would let the engine run with the dressing so it dries and the water will evaporate. If it is not dried enough....simply take an applicator pad to soak up any extra dressing or water.

[go278]

Great video, very informative. I will be detailing my engine this weekend. Thanks!

[Liberaltedjo]

helo meguiars, how to use bug and tar ?

[meguiarsasia]

@Liberaltedjo you spray it onto surface and then let it sit for 30seconds to 1 minute and wipe off with a microfiber or cotton towel.

[Liberaltedjo]

spray to body with bug/tar and then wait 1mt, thx meguiars

if bubbe gum can remove ??

my new car have bubbe in bumper, hahahah

thank you.....

[unrealford]

What do you have for a suggestion, for people with light oxidation to there alum engine valve covers and to protect it from getting Oxidized?

[meguiarsasia]

thats a tough thing to take care of! I would try Meguiar's all metal polysh with a microfiber and then use this to maintain the covers over time.

[sharludovico]

is it a mercedes s class 600?

[mastazuki91]

I got a 97 t-bird....I just have a detail shop do it for me every year. Its pretty cheap at $40 US and if anything goes wrong they are liable so its safe if you are concerned about doing it yourself but want a clean engine.

[KulinaryKutZ]

Would this be safe to do on a 1976 chevy?

[meguiarsasia]

normally we would recommend this for vehicles that are 5 years old or newer....if you DO want to do it, take your time to cover any batteries or wiring or such things with bags and carefully water the engine. If you are in doubt...by hand only with no water.

[KulinaryKutZ]

Thanks so much.

[KulinaryKutZ]

Are these products still in production?

[meguiarsasia]

yes they are in production....only available outside USA though.

[dhom100]

this is just top cleaning. what about without the covers?

[meguiarsasia]

if you like......you can remove the covers to clean below...great comment!

[behomastikoki]

i liked the song:)

[viktord1]

is it safe to just hose it down with water?

[meguiarsasia]

the general rule of thumb is if its a vehicle that is 5 years old or newer, it should be OK. If you are concerned, the best thing would be to ask the vehicle manufacturer before hosing it down. I personally have done this to vehicles ranging in age from 1980 to 2008 and have had no issues yet. : )

[otterlakerules]

You should cover the alternator and the air filter if it's like a cold air intake.

[mycoolm3]

thanks it costs 69 bucks from this royaltyfreemusic website damn thats hella money ..

ill just buy the engine degreaser instead lol

[mycoolm3]

so maduro is the artist and full the name of the song cuz i cant find it???

[meguiarsasia]

that because it is a royalty free music song. You need to pay between 45 and 55 US to get this type of song. You won't find it on itunes or anywhere.

[mycoolm3]

what song is this????

[meguiarsasia]

It is called Maduro_full

[cooolcars]

to be honest id never clean a mercedes engine of that size as it might damage the sensors. id use a steam cleaner as that would only lay for an hour. if you know about this my fathers engine is fithy and needs a clean but what do i need to cover up without it going wrong? its a saab 9-3 2.0i non turbo thanks.

[meguiarsasia]

Hi coolcars..yes these products should be fine for a new vehicle within the past 5 years. Most older vehicles to be very very safe you can take a plastic bag and cover any sensitive sensors, batteries or alternators.

[cooolcars]

yeah but i tryed that on a rover and the computer display came up with 000000

[meguiarsasia]

When detailing an engine, you have to be careful and when in doubt either do not do it or refer to the manufacturer or the vehicle. In some cases, the engine can be delicate.

[cooolcars]

ah i see. so there were no problems at all when you had finished with that mercedes? will it be ok on a saab 1998 to do that?

[meguiarsasia]

a SAAB 1998 is pushing the age limit. Normally a car that is 5 years old and newer is ok but with an older vehicle, it should be ok, just be careful of loose wiring, batteries or any electrical components. If you are very worried, just hold off on doing it...better safe than sorry. This Mercedes Benz had no problems after we were finished...if you get a chance...its an amazing product combo to use!

[viktord1]

hey there's a trick to turn back your mileage on the odometer :D

[cooolcars]

yes you jack up the car and put in reverse at about 30mph. that answer your question?

[MDPDADE305]

how bout a nissan 300zx, toyota tundra 2004, and crown vic 1998

[meguiarsasia]

If the vehicle is 5 years old or newer, for sure! If it is not, I would first recommend you consult the vehicle manufacturer to make sure! : )
