And so Sockums? How many of you luders have them? Is there a sock etiquette? Do the provide any useful addition other than clothing for my engine? Is one sock really no socks at all?

They have two functions.

1. They soak up any spills.
2. They look cool.

Yeah they look good when new and clean (if the bay is tidy too)

I see, i do like a clean bay, may i ask, while i am at it what you guys use as a hygiene cleanser after mucking about deep in the bowels of the aforementioned bay? I tried swarfega. No good.

Is it wrong to get a little moist over an engine bay? Those pictures are porn...
