Safe, Professional Cleaning for a Healthier, Better-Looking Engine
When was the last time you looked under your hood? Over time, your engine bay collects layers of dust, grease, oil, leaves, and road grime — especially in San Diego’s dry, dusty conditions. At RoamShine, we offer safe, non-invasive engine bay cleaning that refreshes the look of your engine and makes future maintenance easier, while helping detect leaks, corrosion, or early issues.
Whether you're prepping for a sale, show, or just want to keep your vehicle fully dialed in — we clean under the hood like professionals should.
Why Engine Bay Cleaning Matters
Most people never think to clean their engine — until it’s too late. Here's why keeping your engine bay clean makes a real difference:
- Helps you spot leaks, corrosion, or damaged parts early
- Reduces buildup of grease and debris that can lead to fire hazards
- Makes your car look better when selling or trading in
- Keeps rodents and pests from nesting in dirty corners
- Helps detailers and mechanics work cleanly and efficiently
And no — it’s not about blasting it with a hose. We clean the right way using tools and techniques made for the job.
What’s Included in Our Engine Bay Detail
We take extra care around sensitive electronics, wiring, and seals — using the safest methods and detailing-grade tools:
- Dry debris removal (leaves, dirt, dust, etc.)
- Degreasing of plastic, rubber, and metal surfaces
- Controlled steam or low-pressure rinse (if needed)
- Plastic trim dressing for a like-new, non-greasy finish
- Hand-drying around fuse boxes, intake, and electrical areas
- Final wipe-down for hoses, reservoirs, and covers
We use non-acidic, engine-safe degreasers and never soak electrical components. Every vehicle is pre-inspected before cleaning.

Engine bay cleaning is a smart choice for:
- Vehicles prepping for sale or dealership trade-in

FAQs – Engine Bay Cleaning
Will water damage my engine?
Not with our process. We use controlled methods — no pressure washers blasting around fuse boxes. We protect all sensitive parts first.
Can you clean electric vehicle frunks?
Yes. We detail Tesla frunks, hybrid engine bays, and closed compartments using dry steam and microfiber tools.
Does this remove rust?
No. This is a cleaning service, not a restoration or painting process. However, it can help uncover rust early before it spreads.
Is this safe on performance cars?
Yes — we clean performance engines regularly and always adjust based on your setup (intake, battery, exposed sensors, etc.).
