Does anyone have a good way to reach areas in and around the engine that a hand just can't reach?

Thanks.
 
I don't want to soak with soap and spray with water. My engine (Corvette) is already clean but want to maintain it by a light dusting/cleaning to keep it clean. Just have a hard time reaching the hard to reach places. How did the wheel brush work?

Keep in mind my opinions are coming from a very inexperienced amateur.

However, the wheel brush I purchased worked pretty great. I feel that the EZ-Detail would work a whole lot better with it's flexibility and not having to worry about shorting something out or scratching something since it is non-metallic. As I said though, I wanted to get a feel for if I would like the method so I went cheap. The added benefit of the cheap one though is that the brush is disposable. My test engine compartment was horrible.

I'd imagine you'd need a decent bit of water for a wheel brush to be of much use though. I'd listen more to them than me. lol
 
I use APC and let sit for couple min. On cold engine. I then use my steamer to remove the APC. A splash of Permanon makes the next time easy.
 
For quick cleaning I use an apc and mist everything and use air gun to blow everything dry/off. Then do the same thing with misting water on everything.


Works perfectly fine for me.
 
I see guys quite frequently around here using a pressure washer. I've always been taught not to go that route. Electrical connections and such. I've always thought steam cleaning or by hand is best. No?
 
Apc and brush followed by a garden hose.

Blow it with my leaf blower, then some 301.

Quick, simple, EZ.
