Yup, I detail my engine bay. I try to keep it spotless. Also the undercarriage and of course the paint and the exterior and interior of the car. I am OCD about detailing. The manual does say to not hose down the engine bay components. I use a several wet microfiber towels (distilled water) and go deep inside the engine bay removing dirt little by little.

lol, you

It doesn't impact neither resale value or performance. Waste of time IMHO, but I understand that some have OCD with cleanliness. BTW, after almost a year ownership engine bay is very clean in mine.

It does impact value. I would not buy a car with a dirty engine bay.

whatever you own kind of owns you.
