I just posted my newest SUPER CLEAN video on how to Super Clean your Wheels and remove 2yrs of brake dust, tar, and stains: kzhead.info/sun/aN6Tqc2RaWWFo5E/bejne.html
First (I have a Ford Fiesta too btw)
Hey man Ik this video was a while back but can u make a more detailed video on how to clean and get rid of surface rust in your engine bay metals, thanks bro
@@mikhailmanalili3394 metal wire brush and sandpaper
Yes! I love w this!
@@chrisfix I just bought myself a Nissan Skyline ER34 GTT and unfortunately they're prone for having rust on the strut towers which mine unfortunately has but I have yet to know if it's only the top plate or if it's deeper, in order to restore the strut tower in the bay does a metal wire dremel such as the one you used in the video and sandpaper suffice? And I assume for sanding it would be working from a grittier grit to a softer grit? Thanks for your videos man as these are going to be extremely useful when my car arrives as it is in rough shape.
I love that Chris has helped me realize that my car is not as scary to understand like some impossible math equation that I thought it was. Saving me tons of money and I'm finally learning about my car and how it works lol.
That’s awesome to hear and exactly why I make these videos!
@@chrisfix outstanding KZhead channel behavior chris! Well done for keeping so in touch with your past videos!
Me too, and I’m a 70 year old woman who now details her own car thanks to this young man!
Honestly...
Yeah mechanics love to want to make you think it's far more complicated than it actually is.
It's strange that 25k people would thumbs down for a gentleman providing a cleaning tutorial. That's bloody barmy
Those weren't people, they were 25k pigs that like to get around in a garbage scowl.
Yes you could put a pic of two little innocent children holding hand with God & you would get thousands of dislikes. I would imagine that after you clean your first engine the others are very easy.
It's like my mom used to say: Some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy.
@@bobmill4824 The easiest way to spot a jackass on the Internet is when they use the word "genius". They tell people not to clean the engine bay because most people do it by driving to the self-sever car wash, spraying the bay with soapy water, power washing the soap off, and then immediately driving it off. You may have missed it, but that's not what he's doing here. He's going out of his way to protect the electronics from high-pressure water. If the electronics were so sensitive that getting any water on them caused a problem, everybody's car would break down if they drove it in the rain.
I honestly think people get paid to scroll thru KZhead and hit the dislike button. It can be a video of grass or the sun and it'll have 10k dislikes. I think they just need to get rid of the damn button and tell the haters to suck it. Just my opinion
Been stupidly depressed and anti social. Never thought car videos would cheer me up. I think Chris’s happy attitude and love for what he’s doing is why he’s such a great teacher
Glad you enjoy the videos!
You're not alone man... a lot of depression in the world these days, keep your head up and do things that make you happy.
Praying for you. Feel better man.
Has it gotten any better lately?
@@chrisfixin Pakistan, we wash engine bay with diesel amd water mixed, what you recommend is it good?
This video is a masterclass in making a KZhead video. The contest is almost irrelevant. It's Chris's awesome attitude and personality, and the way he delivers the content that grabs you, holds your attention, gives you hope that you are fully capable of doing a dreaded task all by yourself, and gifts you the skills to get it done. I am a medium-to-advanced DIYer and I never stop learning something from Chris. Thank you!
Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell
You nailed it on the head! I don't know a thing about cars, but this video was suggested....and somehow I managed to sit through the entire thing without wanting to fast-forward. I actually enjoyed it!
We all fall down and get hurt emotionally, but only Jesus understands your pain. Follow him and he will fill your heart.awdasdadawdaawsadas
I love how his videos are timeless, it doesn't seem like this video is 3 years old at all
That's one of the goals with all the videos!
I know...right
I'm still watching!

Most positive engine cleaning video, I have ever seen. 6 years later watching this, and loved the energy you demonstrated in this video, well done!
Thanks a lot!
I'm building out my garage so that I can work on my car more effectively thanks to you and Cleetus. Thanks for everything you do, Chris. You're a national treasure.
Awesome! Are you building a pole barn or your just renovating your current space?
@@chrisfix I'm using an existing space! I moved in about 8 months ago and the house is brand new so I figured I'd get the most out of it. I had the floor epoxied and I'm buying a ton of storage. I've been binging your videos to get some ideas on what projects to do to warm up. I just refilled my bottle of soapy woder and now I'm looking at expanding my existing tool collection. You're the man, Chris!
Dude your work ethic and the way you break down problems into smaller jobs is truly amazing. Inspirational. Not gonna lie
Thanks a lot!

this guy is still hearting comments in 2019. what a dude. that's a sub.
Q: Do you have 55 days interest free until you have to pay anything after the billing date? A: The interest free period can be UP TO 55 days, not a 55 days from time of purchase. Ensure you always pay your entire balance by the due date to avoid interest charges on purchases.

I always complain to my husband about him spending too much time on his car, but here I am at 12 AM watching how to super clean an engine bay. This was so satisfying.
Lol glad you enjoyed the video
the only part i didnt find satisfying was when he painted his camera lens it just kills me when he does that
@@aidankuster1333 haha I thought that part was pretty cool
@G1zm0 abizmo hahaha WOOOOOOW
Nice...
Chrisfix is like the Bill Nye of car maintenance. Makes it easy to understand the complex things and I love being watching your videos and picking out what I want to work on next.
Great video Chris. Great editing, narration, and camera work. Very easy for someone else to follow and didn't skip any of the technically important parts.
ChrisFix: "It should take you 2 hours total." Me: "This is gonna be an all day job."
When he said 2 hours I was like if he was my manager i would be fired
Me too... And probably get drunk during the process.
Dude, my wife and I both tackled our 2015 V6 Mustang this after noon starting at like 3pm. We still weren't done after we lost sunlight. Had to resort to flashlights to attempt to finish the plastic protection and still was only able to half ass it until almost 8pm. Granted, the engine bay has never been cleaned, but it looked roughly as dirty as Chris's mustang, so I thought we would have similar results. While it does look ten times better than it did, it's still far from looking new. We're going to repeat the entire process again hopefully next weekend and bust out some cotton swabs because there are SO many hard to reach spots that seem impossible to get to even with wire brushes, pipe cleaners, a ton of soapy water, and detailing brushes.
As long as you get everything prepped and ready, it won't take you as long as you think!
Two hours i can detail motor in 30 minute better then that but i a professional detailer
Boy do i feel dumb I've been eating off my dirty engine for years now.
I'mnosuperman lmfao that is great
Even if I super cleaned my engine to dine off of, where does he even get a sandwich like that??
Realistically Dazed did you have a stroke?
You get used to it.......don't be ashamed......
Your mistake was to eat off a cold dirty engine.
Thank you Chris. It is so refreshing know that you drive a car with a clean engine bay. It makes one’s driving experience a breeze. Keep more of these videos coming. I love your content.
Bro I live in a different part of the world, and just bought my 1st car recently, and your video is extremely helpful! Your attitude, and attention to details made me watch the whole vid, even though I'm not going to wash my car's engine for now (cause it's too cold here). You are a friend everyone needs! Thank you for your help for new drivers my man, and keep doing what you are doing. Best of luck to you Chris.
Chrisfix I honestly have to say your videos and your channel is definitely in the Top 10 on KZhead. 1. You dont clickbait 2. Your videos are Highly entertaining 3. It's not a waste of time and its fun learning and see what you do every video Thanks for not making me bored and your tips helped me a lot!
I can't argue against any of your reasons.

Absolutely true. I have only two subscriptions - my brother and ChrisFix. In 45 years of keeping my own cars on the road he is the only person who makes sense 100% of the time.
This is exactly the equivalent of a make-up tutorial that women like
Seldom have truer words been said! Be blessed. 🙂
I'm a woman and I'd rather watch this 😂
I'm a Lady that watches both🤣 and this specifically has the most views from me way over 20 times
Hey, watch yourself dude. I'd much rather watch this than makeup tutorials
Ps I’m a girl cars are awesome makeup is dumb there’s no point
Amazing outcome! I made the mistake of getting my truck oiled, and now my engine looks terrible. When the weather turns nice so will my engine thanks to your help. Much respect:)
Crazy that he still responds so so many comments 50M views and 6 years later. You’re a King Chris 👑
Great video dude. I'm a professional mechanic for Lamborghini and Aston Martin Beverly hills. I wanted to let you (and everyone else) know that in my professional opinion, from a mechanical standpoint, every caution and every recommendation was accurate. (About covering the engine, not spraying connectors and the components you mentioned with high pressure water, using the right protectant for plastics and rubber) seriously... well done. I learned a couple things too. :)
I also subbed.
I use a spray silicon lubricant instead of the trim restore around the engine. It repels water away from electrical connections and keeps rubber from drying out and cracking.
Mad respect.
Kevin in the back don't worry, he's a mechanical engineer
Oh my god! You work on over priced tractors bro. Noting special
Chris: “get your dust mask on”. Everyone in march 2020: “WE DONT HAVE ANY MORE”

Great video and brilliant info :) I've been cleaning the engine bay of one of my cars fairly regularly, but I've learnt much better techniques watching this video and will certainly putting them into practice. I was wondering what the best way of cleaning that oxidised aluminium was and after watching I'm wondering no more, thanks heaps :)
This Chris guy is an EXCELLENT communicator. Easily this self help video is the best presentation I’ve seen anywhere. Thank you!!
Not only are Chris' videos informative and highly useful, he does them with a very positive, upbeat, cheerful attitude. Great work, Chris!
Hey Maaaan... as an old time car guy, I really enjoyed this vid - But more, I enjoyed your PRESENTATION! No slacker dude with his dog barking constantly in the background, and forgetting his lines, and the wind blowing across the mic, etc... EASY to understand every step and process... GREAT cam and audio work and excellent editing!!! You can not only be proud of your detailing, but proud of the work that went into this DIY vid! Phunny enuf, I was just thinking about cleaning up the engine bay on my '90 Olds a few days ago when I changed the oil.... now I know - it HAS to be done! Thanks, Chris.
Back in my auto dealer days we used a 3M engine dressing that takes this 2 hour process and turns it into about 20 min. Absolutely loved that stuff. Great video!
Hello, again! These videos become addicting once you being getting motivated to maintain and repair your own vehicles. I really appreciate your videos! That van engine bay is what I have been searching for; working on 1991 Astro Van and there are oil build up and thick layers... following these steps will definitely help the cleaning process.
You should sell a “ChrisFix” kit that contains all of those tools in an easy/convenient to carry bag!
That’s a cool idea
ChrisFix yeah! I ended up buying most of these tools so I can try it out on my car next week during my time off from work. I just hope I find a convenient way to store them so I don’t have to go looking for them the next time I detail 😂 What better than a ChrisFix bag!
@@chrisfix I'd buy a ChrisFix kit like that
I agree and would purchase just put it in the link below the video please and thank you 😁
@@chrisfix i would buy without a doubt
I some how stumbled across this video, when I wasn't even looking to clean my engine bay. I ended up watching basically every video you have. Even without needing to do anything on my vehicle. There is just so much time, effort, and instruction in every single video. You earned a sub from the most non-car person on the planet.
GET WREKT same
Blaque me too...or I ll just hire some Mexi ans to clean my car..

lol a little crowd of us here
I actually came across your channel not too long ago because of the super clean videos, didn’t even know anything about cars, but watching you makes me want to start working on my own car! Love your videos
Thank you for doing a detailed video showing how to clean the engine bay. I have looked in the past and no one ever has a thorough video so I have always been afraid to try it. With your video I feel confident I can get the job done w/o doing any damage.
I could watch you clean these engines all day. It's so satisfying.
Thanks!
Now, if he could just clean my car too.
just close the fucking hood and you are good to go, no need to waste 2 hours cleaning it.
@spqr101010 Ever heard of working on your car? It's so much easier.
this isnt "working on your car" just cleaning parts that dont need to be cleaned, i mean if its really dirty and preventing damage to the engine i get it, but cleaning the fucking engine bay can do more harm then good if you dont know what you are doing.

Stop, straight just hold up. You have been explaining the car to me for 5 min, and I already understand so much more then I have ever. I came here for satisfying cleaning and I am impressed with what I found in its place! Thank you for teaching me so much and not even meaning to!
Great job, with fantastic instructions and results! The only thing that would worry me is, when using just the brushes or microfiber wrapped brushes, and fishing them into the tight spaces, I would worry about loosening, not completely removing, wires and harnesses. Not being a big time car guy would mean that I wouldn’t know what things weren’t making the correct connections. So, I will have to be much more careful when getting into the small spaces, or mostly skip them. Either way, the engine compartment will look tons better! Thanks again.
Bad news: it'll take me 17 hours to accomplish this because of my OCD, and if my wife sees it, she'll expect just as much detail on the bathroom.
That comment made laugh hard. I know the feeling bro
Tell her to clean the bathroom herself.....

Why cant i like this comment twice

6 years late but this video has helped me understand my car in a new light. No longer do I see cleaning and checking my engine as complex physics, but a task I genuinely feel like I can do even though I know nothing about cars :)
I'll never do this, but I really enjoyed watching someone do a good job! A really excellently presented video.
Just used all this info to clean my 300zx engine bay, I must say it turned out great. But now how do i clean all the grease, dirt, and grime out of my wife's toothbrush?
Oven cleaner works great on engine bays. Watch out for aluminum though, it leaves a white chalk.
D Rutt 1969 ? he didnt ask how to clean that and he was joking
oven cleaner acts like paint remover. plz don't try that
Sharayah Green savagery!!
How the fuck did you find room for a toothbrush in the engine bay of your 300zx??
So I split my engine down the center and now my Car won't start
CHALLENGERGAMING 😂👌🏽
don't worry, this is normal challenger. once you clean it and put it back together with duct tape and super glue it should start right up.
dont forgett to make new rubber seals

I always come back to the Ole Chris Fix videos 😊 just picked up a 2000 Ranger with 225k miles on it. You can guess easily that majority of the parts needed replaced. But i snagged it for $800, and it ran, had a new timing belt, and some other new minor parts. watched some videos, replaced the entire front suspension due to rust and bad ball joints, new spark plugs, wires, and ignition coils, new exhaust due to the old one having holes through it, and a new power steering pump. It runs and rides great now! Watched the coolant flush video, about to do that in the coming week, watching this video now to clean the engine bay because there's oil and dirt nearly everywhere, so I need to find leaks lol. Keep up the great work dude. I'll never stop watching 👍
Thank you Chris for creating a very informative video. I am SO GLAD and waited to view this video prior to cleaning my 5 year old Toyota Tundra's Engine bay. Its quite dusty and is needs a good cleaning. I now feel confident about not messing up anything with the engine if I carefully follow your Great advice. I appreciate you!!
It took me 6 hours on a 2009 Camry I was selling and I followed all directions. I would say I got an extra $1000 when I sold it, the engine compartment looked amazing.
Those 6 hours of detail and 21:58 minutes of the video paid off
Awesome! I'm sure it came out great!
I have the exact same vehicle. Good to know
I bought a mercedes about 10 years ago, the engine bay was filthy when I bought it and still filthy when I sold it five years later. lol

This comment right here actually made my day. I had a good laugh.
These vids are well put together and presented...... Chris puts a lot of work into the videos..... I appreciate your efforts.
Im blown away by this very inteeligent tutorial and polite talking jeez. U born for this.
The amount Of time and effort that went into making this video plus also editing it man you are actually a person who cares about people if no one has thanked you let me be the first and thank you for helping us save money on detailing!!! We appreciate you for this video! ❤️️
Thanks a lot Ricardo! I try to take my time and produce quality content you want to actually watch and that doesnt waste your time! I want my video to be a one stop shop for you to know what to do whether cleaning a car or fixing it.
ChrisFix what if we can't take out the car battery I have a dodge avenger and it's in a hard place to take out
I completely agree - one of the reasons I'm subscribed is because he goes above and beyond.
granted he does care about us and our viewing experience he also gets paid the better his videos do so theres a lot of incentive to making them good.
soxredsox He deserves to get paid good but if you watch his videos he does everything with excellence! That's just part of who he is!
Just realized how satisfying it is to watch other people cleaning stuff.
The only thing better than that would be watching Chris clean our cars! I have a feeling his final result will still be better than my attempt any day.
Check out the guy who does free landscaping for people with overgrown lawns
When I was younger and cared I used to keep the engine bay on my 67 Plymouth super clean. I also did all my own maintenance and repairs. When I got older I had a trusted mechanic do all the work on my car. Except for cleaning. But my mechanic told me not to clean the engine anymore. My now old car (not the Plymouth) sometimes leaked fluids and not super cleaning the engine made it easier to see the source of any leaks. And I wasn’t going to any more cruise nights and lifting the hood to show off my shiny engine.
im super glad you make videos like this! i'm doing a restoration on an 88 ford and the engine bay is soo dirty. It was so overwhelming but seeing this video makes me way more confident
I'm glad the video gave you the confidence to do this on your Ford! And that sounds like a fun project!
@@chrisfix It's fun but she's giving me a run for my money haha
I hope you get a lot of money off this video, I can tell a lot of hard work and time was added to the video.
Thanks a lot Eduardo! The biggest reward is you guys learning and enjoying the video! I love getting the before and after pics you guys send me after watching a vid!
ChrisFix I'm still waiting for the wheel spacer video lol
Eduardo Rodriguez this is why he missed to upload every week
Dude, I know that the vast majority of comments all say this same thing, but seriously, thank you for making these. You are truly doing a service to vehicle owners everywhere, and you're doing a fantastic job of demystifying car repair. Thank you for the work you're doing, and I wish you many continued years of great success!
I have watched this multiple times over the years ... Cudos You have great Videos and Work ethic.
Excellent video! I will definitely put this in my save file. I like all the detailed info you gave totally obliterating and questions someone might have. Great tips!
Wow, Chris put so much damn effort into this vid. He even did the other engine bays off camera!! He deserves everything man
Thanks Will! I wanted to be sure I covered everything so cleaning all the different types of engines and taking notes while doing each one was the best way for me to do that and to show I am serious about showing you guys the proper way to get amazing results!
ChrisFix: How about cleaning the radiator? Pressure washing my radiator sucks. It doesnt give me a good clean. Any ideas CF?
lol if you Pressure washed your radiator trow it in the Trash and get a new one, once the fins get bent there is no air flow to cool
Yashar ghaffari oh i know...i dont get crazy with it...but thanks for the heads up...
I think he was just so excited with how well it came out that he did all the other vehicles too. That or he wanted to use the other vehicles as guinea pigs to make sure nothing gets destroyed before moving on his drift baby.
Chris: "This should take you 2 hours" Me: This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years
I promise that this won't take as long as you think!
@@chrisfix Ok, 50 years.
You don't sound so bad for a man pushing 120
🤣
It took me more than 4 hours, but I knew it would. I always multiply my time estimates by 2 (my wife says it should be 3).
Hey Chris, your videos are so incredibly helpful! I’m detailing two vehicles to sell and your information will help me with my goal! Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you just changed the mounts and your video was very helpful.
I love how excited you sound in the video. Makes the whole thing much better to watch. Thanks for the tips and tricks!
I need someone like Chris to keep me motivated while I do this stuff. Like a personal trainer, but for maintenance. "C'mon one more! You can do it! Just think of how clean it'll be when you're done! Feel the burn!"
@@electrontube Right? "That bolt is pretty rusted but you got this! Oh no, it broke? That's okay! It's a learning experience and I'll show you how to fix it!"
Hey Chris, I work exclusively on aluminum (aircraft world) a nylon abrasive wheel is better for the aluminum. Metal wire wheels actually cause holes into the aluminum. Which will help deteriorate the aluminum over time
Yeah I nylon brush wheel would probably have been better, the steel wire wheel will cut through that aluminum
He's a child for cripes sake, he has a lot to learn!
@@jrambo7495 cringe
Good tip thanks man!
Damn I wish I saw this before I want to town on my aluminum lol
Gawd-I am SO excited I stumbled across this channel ! I’m So motivated to clean up my dusty Armada engine bay Chris -you’re the BOSS! 😊
Thank you so much you are my childhood KZheadr I would always watch you every day every night. You are so experienced and good at what you do. You are amazing and I love your content. Keep on going and never give up. This helped me so much to clean my dad’s engine I showed him the video and we later we cleaned our engine by watching your video step-by-step 😊
Thanks a lot! And I'm glad this video helped you and your Dad out!
My OCD doing backflips. The sound bites are perfect timing. Your enthusiasm got me pumped - here I go! Appreciate ya!
My OCD: "2 hours? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Hope you don't have plans this week."
"Perfect timing." Glad someone said it. I am not alone.
That was an incredibly well presented, detailed instruction on how to make my old car's engine bay look new again, and I can't thank you enough! Subscribed, and ready for more great tips on car maintenance.
Lots of great tips! I would save the microfiber towels for waxing/buffing the paint! The blue shop paper towels absorb moisture a lot better and they are disposable!
I’m legit in love with “soapy wodder”
wooder?
Philly. We would make a coworker from Philly say water all the time.
I’m so sorry Chris.. I’ve been seeing this video pop up on my recommendation’s for 3 years & never clicked on it /: It’s 2020 now & it’s seriously a regret of mine! I watched this video yesterday, spent about 5 hours cleaning my 2001 IS300’s engine bay today! I would bet it hasn’t been touched since it was brand new.. It turned out amazing! 💯 All credit & respect goes to you man, thank you! I’m so happy I finally took the time, I’m grateful to now be subscribed to you & consuming all the content that I’ve missed out on 🙏🏼
& yes I did eat off of it.. 🍎 🍷
Ditto Nino :} )
Honestly, your videos are the best I have ever seen on the internet. Thank you so much!
Love the content especially with the clear speaking and going into detail with the explanation....good job Chris
Thanks!

L.V I dream I have a car
Step 1 is setting your respawn point
*When your engine looks better than the entire car.*
Me right now not going to lie. I mean, you are going to be blowing all that dust everywhere else but the engine bay. Might as well start here
Lmao yup that's exactly how it's looking here too
@VulkanR6 Hey man Hey man Hey man
Would any of you buy a used car with an engine that clean?
Lmao that's my car rn
instant sub. Hands down the best video on this I've ever seen, all of it - extremely well done! If Cable TV had more shows like yours, it wouldn't be dead! Glad I found you here!
Hey Chris, this is Ashish from India. I am new car owner and was wondering how to clean engine bay. Your video tutorial helped me a lot. Thanks!
