Cleaning Renesis Motor Cover
What do you use to clean the Renesis motor cover. It is the same material that covers the ECU, Battery, and Intake covers...
Just curious to know. I was going to use the Cheer w/ Color Gaurd again, but i am running pretty low... jk :p
Thanks!

like other mine mostly gets covered in fine 'sugar sand' that blows into the engine bay, i dont like to wipe it off as it could get scratched, so i just pop it out and shake it off, then hose it down. after it air drys i use 'back to black' on it and then pop it back in, i do this about 1 time a month or whenever im gonna have the hood open like a car meet, ect.
same goes for the batery cover, ecu ect

not that i can do this now, but my SVT manifold on my last car - '01 Merc Cougar - was black. after i used degreaser and water to clean it, i'd spray WD40 on it. it was awesome for shows. after awhile it would collect too much dust though. sorry i dont' have a picture to share.

I'm sure that there must be a good point to cleaning the renesis engine cover, but I'll be gd'd if I can figure it out C'mon who is looking at it besides you every couple of fillups and the Mazda tech?!

Never had any of the cleaning/shine products I use ignite. I don't use armor all, but they're all pretty similar chemically. It wold probably just evaporate quicker rather than reach a combusiton point.

I am sure its pretty safe to use. Whether your using armorall, 303, or another product, I would recommend removing the plastic cover and applying it outside of the car and then once you let it sit and dry for a few minutes place it back. I don't know how safe it would be to spray 303 or armorall all over the engine bay though.

Yeah, flawless brings up a good point. If you're going to put a shine on the hoses or anything else, spray a rag with the cleaner/shine agent and then wipe the hose. If it's a cover, take it out.
