Keep it clean under the hood

Whatever is under the hood maybe invisible most of the time, but your car’s smooth running depends on it. A car with a dirty engine compartment can’t retain its value for long. Cleaning this area is not a tedious job, and you can even do it on your own. However, make sure that the soap or water does not access sensitive engine parts or circuitry. Cover the exposed electrical components and remove the negative terminal cable on battery before you start cleaning.
