Service Breakdown Of Our Car

Engine Bay Detailing Process

Our car engine bay detailing process at Phoenix is a meticulous, multi step service designed to restore cleanliness, safety, and aesthetic appeal under the hood. We begin with a light pre rinse and a careful inspection to identify sensitive components that need protection. Next, we apply a specially formulated degreaser to break down oil, dirt, and grime without harming wiring or rubber parts. Using soft detailing brushes and low pressure tools, we gently agitate and rinse away buildup from all accessible areas. Once clean, the bay is carefully dried using microfiber towels and compressed air to prevent moisture retention. To finish, we apply a plastic and rubber safe dressing that restores a clean, factory like finish leaving your engine bay looking fresh, well maintained, and ready for show or performance.

Step 1 – Pre Inspection & Safety Prep

We start by inspecting the engine bay to identify any exposed electrical components, aftermarket modifications, or sensitive areas. Battery terminals, intakes, and electronics are protected with plastic covers or tape to ensure safety during cleaning.

Step 2 – Light Dust & Debris Blow Out

Using compressed air or a soft brush, we remove loose dust, leaves, and debris to avoid excess buildup during the wet cleaning stage. This prevents clogging and protects smaller components.

Step 3 – Application of Degreaser

We apply a biodegradable, non acidic degreaser evenly across the engine bay. It’s designed to safely break down built up oil, grime, and grease on engine surfaces, hoses, and plastic trims.

Step 4 – Agitation with Detailing Brushes

Soft bristled brushes are used to gently scrub all surfaces, especially tight spots around bolts, seams, and caps. This lifts contaminants without damaging finishes or rubber parts.

Step 5 – Controlled Rinse

We perform a low pressure rinse, carefully removing the loosened dirt and degreaser while avoiding direct water contact with protected electronics or filters.

Step 6 – Compressed Air Drying

To avoid moisture buildup, we use high powered air tools and microfiber towels to thoroughly dry the bay paying special attention to nooks and electrical zones.

Step 7 – Plastic & Rubber Dressing

We apply a non silicone based dressing that rejuvenates the look of plastic and rubber components, leaving a clean, matte-to-satin finish that resists future dust buildup.

Step 8 – Metal Polish (Optional Upgrade)

For vehicles with visible metal components or performance parts, we offer an upgrade to polish metal surfaces for added shine and corrosion resistance.

Step 9 – Final Quality Check & Owner Walkthrough

We conduct a final inspection to ensure a spotless finish, check for overlooked areas, and invite the owner to review the result ensuring 100% satisfaction and peace of mind.
