Will a can of Tire Foam clean an extremely dirty engine ?

Maybe i would have gotten better results if i had used a compressor with a nice air nozzle on it, instead of the leaf blower.. but i think with an engine this bad there's no choice but to use some kind of pressure washer / brush and soap to get rid of all that grime.

for most engines this should work fine though, did a pretty good job for a $9 can at walmart.

    I think it looks good .. I have a 2005 Acura and have never cleaned the engine .. I watched your video and couple others. Went out bought a can of the foam. Pretreated the areas that had some Grease and grime scrubbed it with a brush and then I reapplied to the whole engine and let it set for 5 minutes. Then wiped it down and then repeated the steps and then let it sit for 2 hours looks fantastic! Thanks for the video it helps out a lot !!

    Thx for posting this - may have to try soon. My 2010 civic’s engine needs cleaning. The wires & alternator are my concern but y’all reassured me it to be ok. Btw I don’t have a leaf blower, will towel dry suffice?

    What i do is spray purple power degreaser, let it sit for 10minutes, rinse lightly with car running misting water, let it air dry, then spray the tire shine all over engine bay and you get a cleaner look, most of the gunk and oils wash off, its even better if you scrub the degreaser with a ragg and brush any areas

    Is it safe to spray tire foam on your electrical components too? Is it also better to wash with water after spraying?

    Thank you for your video because I don’t have a husband but I do love my 2000 Honda accord

  • You need a good degreaser like super clean and some agitation to get that off. Tire foam (from what i've watched) is good for light to moderate cleaning.

    Bro u were supposed to use water!!! I do this all the time!! Just make sure your car is cold and not driven atleast 2 hours before and dont drive it until atleast 1 hour after and make sure its in the sun so it can dry up all the water after
  • Agitate it w a brush like a straight handle paint brush for better results or maybe use actual degreaser first
