Cleaning under engine cover vents!

[STUAW11]

Has anyone come up with an easy way of cleaning those hard to get to areas under the vents on the engine cover

AHH!!

So I'm not the only sad git that has tried then !!.......I used a small bottle brush wrapped in a soft rag.......but don't tell anyone !!

Wrapped a cloth round an old toothbrush and used that, worked ok.

But to get right into the crevices, I found a triangular piece of sponge, on a plastic handle - I think its part of a painting/decorating kit - that was the best!

Cloth scovered with aeroseol cleaner polish wrapped around a wooden (to avoid unintentional scratching) kebab skewer.

Still a PITA though!

take of engine lid and give it a decent clean with pressure washer, then finish with one of the suggestions above

I've always thouht the cars would look better if the bit you could see through the holes was painted black. But making a good job of painting them would seem as bad if not worse than cleaning them, and there's no going back.
