jujunosuke Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Hi guys, i recently bought a supra and the previous owner changed the original hood to the top secret hood. A photo of my car with the hood here http://imageshack.us/a/img4/3526/imagezskz.jpg But i completely forgot to ask this question when i bought the car. Basically when you wash a car with a hood like this, is there any particular point i should care of ? May i damage some parts if some water fall in the holes ? That may be a funny question but i prefers ask before doing something wrong. Thank you in advance. Julien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I don't think so mate...as obviously those vents will allow rain water through which will hit all the same parts as when cleaning!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 With my vents What I do is I have two bin liners which are split to make a large sheet and cover (for my bonnet) left and right hand side of the engine so all the water falls onto the bin liner when I wash it. When I am done I carefully start rolling up the bin liner edges so all the water goes to the middle so you end up with a bag of water and throw the water away and my engine is bone dry still. Will try and get some pics so you know what I mean if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujunosuke Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Thank you guys for your very fast answers! @Westy Yeah, that is what i was thinking about, if the rain can go there is no reason why i could not wash it normally, but, i just want to be sure ^^ @mplavery What a gorgeous supra you have ! Yep, any other pics of the process would help me to understand better i think. But, its not in a hurry, so whenever you have time, it would be a great help!

supra joe Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Try washing it with water, that's what I use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujunosuke Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Do you have a custom blingy engine bay ? Nothing special. Ok i think i've got my answer now. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Also Top Secret bonnets should have rain guards which direct the water away from anything sensitive, might have been misplaced before the car reached you though. Im ordering one off Varis for my bonnet as i want to use it and rainy Ireland sucks, i presume TS would be able to get you one as well.
