i did it because its a black car and i wanted a different theme with this car.. last 5.0 i did up to look stock under the hood. panted itnake and all ford grey this one wanted something different. and the black gose well since the car is black imo. still got more stuff left to do..powerder coats valve covers are next.
Tire shine does work good. I don't use the hose at all. I got stranded at the quarter car wash once when I washed the 5.0L in an old 91 GT I had. That sucked.

Looks good 
. Now powdercoat that CAI aluminum or black.
I used to spray my old engine with the hose because the previous owner had it covered in oil, but I always sprayed it at home out of fear of getting stranded. I made sure I covered the alt. and dizzy when I cleaned it; but the ol' garden hose isnt as good as a power washer though.

I painted mine black because i have some kinda black and white theme going on with my car haha... Thats the only reason i did.. Plus it was easier to keep clean. if i got grease on it, who is going to really notice

I like the black intake. When I still had the stock stuff on my 90 I painted the intake and valve covers black. Looked real good.

+1 on the black intake . Good job with the detailing. I have been thinking about doing my upper intake, and valve covers in a black wrinkle finish. Now after seeing yours, I'm going to do it.

i isnt on because im cleaning it. its got white marks all over it lol. im going to do my explorer upper and lower same color as well. black valve covers. all the accessories will be painted silver the only polished piece will be the intake plaque.
I detailed my engine bay a little last weekend. First I used concentrated degresser then I did in fact pressure wash the engine bay at the car wash with no ill affects at all. I didn't cover the dist. or alt but I made sure to no apply to much water to those to area's. Then I came home an hit it with tire foam. The radiator hoses on a SSP are a ****** to get clean and new lookinf. I'm still working on them or plan to this weekend. I dont have any before pics but I can snap a after pic if anyone would like to see it.

I used to like the silver intake look only, but the black grew on me after Coupes car and a couple others I've seen.
