It was about why do people jetwash the engine bay of their car on a regular basis. Apparently the neighbour does it and has continual problems with the car- presumably the electrical system.

The question still remains then; why do people jetwash their engines? Its just a terrible idea.

Possibly the same reason people wear designer pants.  Nobody sees them, but it makes them feel good about themselves

No body might see yours, but wearing them doesn't damage the "internals".

Depends on whether you jetwash them, whilst they are on at least.

What ever you do in your own time us down to you

Unfortunately, that isn't always true.  Some younger people think it's cool to not wear a belt on their trousers, so the trousers half fall down and we get to see their underwear.

Why?

street cred, innit.

Didn’t you do anything outrageous/different/trendy when you were young. I know I did.

If your shreddies need jet-washing  it’s probably best  to cut out the middleman and just bin them,...or better still, burn them.

Just posting this lightheartedly as it always puzzles me. My  neighbour has a car and on an almost weekly basis he spends a good couple of hours jetwashing it, including jetwashing the engine bay. I'm not an expert but surely you're asking for trouble doing this? He recently swapped cars after his old one died and after he started jetwashing the new one he had loads of problems with it within a short period of time. It's not even just a cursory once over,  he REALLY pokes the jetwash right in there for long periods of time. Why would anyone do this?

No way should you ever jet wash your engine bay....asking for trouble. I would not even use a jet wash on the bodywork!!....(the last time I tried it some of the paint came away!!)

OK to use with a "low pressure" setting and a rotary brush, and also to clean wheels only, but that's about it...

Why?

It's called "Sagging" and is said to have originated in US prisons. The inmates were often given prison uniforms which were far too big for them and since they were not allowed to wear belts, this often meant the crotch of their trousers ended up between their knees. Upon release many of them continued with the habit because they believed it gave them some street cred by letting everybody know they had served a term inside. Manufacturers cottoned on to this and in the same way that they make "designer" jeans that are ripped, they make other versions that don't fit. So, if they knew it, those following that fashion are trying to let the world know they have been inside.

However, I digress!

Meh I just thought it wouldn't interest people after some thought but couldn't delete the post. Seems I was wrong. No need for such a response really is there

Always wise to quote on responses. Seems odd to delete if the critigue is on the neighbour rather than the OP, unless the neighbour recognised themselves?

Nah just thought afterwards that it wasn't that interesting so deleted it, no big deal. Just bored in lockdown thats all

No need to delete it in the first place - then you wouldn't get such a response. If it was important enough to have posted in the first place, your topic might help others in future - otherwise the boards would just be full of 'deleted' threads, and would be pointless coming here.
