Door jambs I use a waterless wash and dress with spray wax every so often when it looks like it needs dressed, cleaned nearly every launder.

Gas cap door I use my wash lather and rinse and clothes with 303, black plastic lines mine.

Engine whole lot of options simply I use an APC in degreasing dilution, agitate with a medium bristled brush and rinse. I clothes with aerosol egine detailer and wipe downwards plastic trim with 303 every month. At present on cleaning your engine, never practise information technology when the engines hot and care should be used when rinsing, I canvass the h2o off and never spray with much force. Key is gettting it clean once and keeping upwardly on it. The other ii items you reference are easy to do if left too long only engines I do twice a twelvemonth on my cars.

I'thou just a hobbyist who enjoys this stuff some of the pros on hither should have some great options for you lot. Hope that helps some and have fun.

Try to get these out of the way offset.. Roofing painted surfaces and then that harsher chemicals do not comer in contact with them is also important.

Door Jams generally clean up nicely with an all purpose cleaner.

Gas Cap Area also benefit from an all purpose cleaner and a scrub brush.

Engine and the surrounding compartment require something a bit stronger like Meguiar'southward Super Degreaser or a product designed for this purpose. A force per unit area washer also makes short work of these tough areas.

Bobby G says information technology very well. On tough areas, sometimes information technology takes more than than merely some wash soap or waterless to go truly clean. A good APC comes into play. P21s TAW is a great product for these surfaces; meguiars is the more economical option and volition work very well. Don't forget to keep a good selection of brushes for these areas. A toothbrush, boars hair brush, spoke brush, and a round all purpose brush is a good place to beginning.

In my detailing experience, the production breaks downwards the nastiness, the brush lifts it. A quick rinse will finish the job.

Another pick is steam; but virtually most people practise not have this option.

I use the same production for all 3 areas - Optimum Power Clean diluted 3:1. Hasn't failed me nevertheless.

What I apply for the areas you mentioned:

With the right tools, cleaning those areas actually is a cakewalk. And it actually adds to the appearance of the car. Your resale value volition almost definitely be higher than someone who has fungus growing in their door-jams and an engine full of dust or oil.

Just remember that you lot shouldn't clean the engine when it is too hot and you should ever give it time to dry subsequently cleaning just as a precaution--I commonly allow the car sit in the sun with the hood open up while doing the interior to let the engine dry.

I love that mini wash mitt- will have to get one.

On door jams i typically rinse it with a pressure sprayer to remove the majority of the clay, and so useban one-time MF and car wash to wash and APC with a boars hair brush for the caked dirt and hardbto reach areas. And then rinse with the pressure sprayer.

The pressure sprayer is very easy to control and offers a very tight stream of water that helps when fugitive the plastic/vinyl.

A vaer steam machine is what I use and it gets in the tight sots also. This was a good investment, plus y'all can do the whole vehicle with it and use less chemicals.

Had some tough greasy stains on within of door jam to clean. Tried degreaser but it did not do much. Adjacent, I used Stoners Tarminator which is designed to degrease as well. Pigment started to come off while agitating with rag. This droplets product besides stinks to loftier heaven. Be careful with using Tarminator.
