Thorough Engine Bay Detailing Services in Denver CO
Get your engine bay thoroughly cleaned and detailed for a like-new condition
The Engine Bay is Often Neglected
One of the most overlooked areas in vehicle maintenance is the engine bay. From what we’ve seen from our customers in Denver, most engine bays are rarely cleaned. It makes sense, too. Unless you're doing an oil change or checking the battery, the hood stays closed and the engine stays out of sight and out of mind.
Our engine detailing service ensures a thorough and safe cleaning of the top-side of your engine. Not only does this improve its overall appearance, making it look fresh and well-maintained, but it also helps in spotting potential issues like leaks more easily.
It’s important to note that we focus solely on cleaning the visible, top-side portion of your engine. If you need a deep clean underneath the engine, which requires lifting the vehicle, that’s beyond our scope of work.
Are your headlights yellow and foggy? While we’re there to clean the engine bay, we can also restore your headlights to improve nighttime visibility and make them look like-new.
A Safe and Proper Way To Clean Your Engine Bay
At first glance, cleaning your engine bay seems daunting because you don’t want to mess anything up. And it makes sense. If not done properly and you introduce too much water into the wrong parts of the engine, you can have a problem. Here’s the process we follow on most engine cleanings:
Inspection: We start by carefully assessing the engine bay, identifying any problem areas, and covering sensitive components like the battery and alternator.
Debris Removal: Before cleaning begins, we clear out any loose debris such as leaves, twigs, acorns, and dirt to ensure a smooth cleaning process.
Cleaning and Agitation: We pre-spray with a heavy cleaner and allow it to break down dirt and grime. Using an assortment of brushes, we gently scrub every surface to lift contaminants.
Rinse the Engine: With controlled water pressure, we rinse away the loosened grime and dirt. We never oversaturate the engine bay or use high-pressure water, it’s just enough to flush out the dirt safely.
Wipe Down: Any remaining residue is carefully wiped away, leaving the engine bay clean and dry.
Plastic and Rubber Conditioning: To finish, we apply a protective dressing to rubber and plastic components, enhancing their look while preventing premature aging and cracking.
One of the biggest concerns people have about engine cleaning is the use of water. It’s true—if done incorrectly, water can cause damage. That’s why our process is designed to be both effective and safe. We use a minimal amount of water to rinse your engine bay, ensuring no excess moisture lingers.
Additionally, we take extra precautions by covering key components like the alternator, battery, and air intakes to prevent any exposure. After the rinse, we carefully hand-finish these areas for a thorough and safe clean.
Modern vehicles often have plastic covers over the engine, making the cleaning process even safer and more efficient.
If you have a vehicle with an older motor, we’d use less and less water and do more things by hand. So we change our cleaning process based on the type of vehicle we’re working on.

“Devin was amazing, great communication, and was spot on time for the appointment. I wanted to surprise my wife and get her buggy cleaned up when she gets back home from out of state. Devin worked for about 5 hours on the interior and exterior. I didn't know a 2007 could look this good! He listened to my requests, and all were addressed. Very nice, responsible young man. I will be setting an appointment with him for my vehicle. You won't be disappointed if you choose Rome Detailing.” - Brad Pare
