Since I've been spending time in, around and under the engine bay I had enough the dirt, grime and oil on everything that I touched and I've also wanted to try out the scrubbing bubbles vs my usual routine.

Let's get to it

















I'm going to try the knock off scrubbing bubbles from the Dollar Tree








I let it sit for 10 minutes and rinsed it thoroughly with a hose














Meh, I wasn't impressed at all with the results. There was still a noticeable layer of film and grease after rinsing.


My usual routine is Super Clean at 4:1 or 2:1 depending on how heavy the grime is. Since I already had some 4:1 mixed up I sprayed everything down again, let it sit for a couple minutes and then lightly went over a couple areas with my large detailing brush.














MUCH better. No film at all and even the hard to reach areas that I didn't feel like sticking my arm into (like in and around the DISA and throttle body) come out very respectable with a couple rounds of Super Clean from a spray bottle.


So either the actual Scrubbing Bubbles is a much better product than the Dollar Tree stuff I used or it's more for light duty and maintenance cleaning as opposed to dealing with a really grimy engine bay

Anyway, I top it all off with my secret sauce to get rid of the chalkboard finish that Super Clean leaves on the rubber and plastic.





Decent results for 20 min of work
