Necro thread...must have used at least a level 60 resurrection spell.
You're probably the type that would dust out the inside of your PC too, if so then you don't make any sense. Cleaning the main parts of anything is common sense maintenance. Even my window A/C gets cleaned out before I use it each summer. It has nothing to do whatsoever with looking at something. Keeping things cleaned keeps them most efficient and potentially expanding the life of it.
Plus oils and grease residue can catch fire. In fact just 3 weeks ago at where I work we had a Telsta bucket truck completely burn up in flames because of transmission oil on everything from a previous leak that didn't get wiped clean, so naturally all that heat eventually caught it on fire.
Working on an extremely dirty engine sucks if you ever do anything for yourself...which you apparently don't even change your own battery but it's nice to work on a clean car.
When I made the thread, it was a brand new car....still looks brand new under the hood thank you. Why would I pay nearly a mortgage for a car and just let it go to hell on the inside while washing it on the outside?
Man, I've been driving for over 30 years and I've never power washed the engine of any car I've ever owned.
Do you spend a lot of time looking at the engine of your car? I've probably opened the hood on my current car 3 times in 2+ years.
Not sure what the point is quite frankly.
