Step 1: Spray area to be cleaned with a strong blast of water to first remove any loose dirt and/or debris.

Step 2: Spray the area to be cleaned starting at the bottom and using a fanning motion from side-to-side.  Spray enough product to wet the surface with the 3D Yellow Degreaser.

Step 3:  Allow the degreaser 45 seconds to 1 minute to penetrate and go to work breaking-up and emulsifying any dirt, grease, road tar, brake dust and/or traffic film.

Step 4:  Agitate the area with a nylon bristle brush.

Step 5: Thoroughly rinse area with a strong blast of water.

For extremely soiled areas – repeat steps.  Never let degreaser dry on surface.

For Engine compartment

Step 1:  Blow-out any leaves, sticks, pine needles, dead bugs, etc., with air.

Step 2: Tape-off and cover any electronic components that are sensitive to water.  Tape-off and cover any areas or components that should not be sprayed with water.  Cover and protect any fresh air intake openings to prevent water from getting into these areas.

Step 3:  If cleaning the inside of the hood, start with this area first.  Only work on painted surfaces and hard plastic surfaces.  Do not wet or scrub heat mats or sound deadening mats attached to the underside of the hood as this material is fragile and tears easy.  

Spray 3D Yellow Degreaser onto painted and hard plastic surfaces.  Allow to dwell for 30 to 45 seconds.  Agitate with a soft bristle brush.  Immediately spray only the painted and hard plastic surfaces with a gentle spray of water.  If you water sprayer has a SHOWER setting, use this.

Step 4:  Divide engine compartment into natural areas or sections.  Spray 3D Yellow Degreaser to one section or area at a time and agitate with the appropriate brush.  Using the SHOWER setting (low volume, wide spray pattern), rinse this area.  Do not blast any electrical components with water. Move to the next area or section and repeat this process.

Step 5:  After you have cleaned and rinsed the entire engine compartment, give the engine compartment a final rinse using the SHOWER setting on you water sprayer.

Step 6:  Blow out the engine compartment using compressed air, a leaf blower or a handheld vacuum like the Metrovac SideKick.  Using a utility towel, wipe down engine compartment to remove any standing water on any visible surfaces and/or components.

Step 7: Remove any tape or coverings and the blow these areas out.  Remove anything covering or blocking water from getting into fresh air intake for fuel system.

Step 8: With everything removed, start engine and run for 10-15 minutes.  Running the motor will warm up the engine and evaporate off any standing water you could not reach with blown air or by wiping.

Step 9: Wipe painted areas of the engine compartment with 3D BEAD IT UP or 3D Final Touch.

For vinyl and rubber surfaces inside the engine compartment, use 3D Trim Care Protectant, 3D LVP Conditioner, or 3D Instant Shine to restore a factory new appearance.  Simply spray-on or apply using a foam or microfiber applicator pad and then remove any excess.
