How do you clean yours?

Your engine bay, that is!

Ok, so...I'm a bit lax on the old car cleaning front really. But what with it being show season and all, I will be getting busy with some shampoo! Hoping to get the Pug running more often throughout the summer [if we have one] too.

But yeh, I have never ventured into giving my engine bay a proper clean. Nothing more than a quick wipe really. So I want some of your valuable knowledge please!

Had a little looky around on the net for some good products/tactics but it seems that everyone has their own completely different ways of doing it, so I'm a bit confused now.

It's pretty grimey so it's gonna need a good going over!

I am now opening the floor to you lovely people for your wealth of advice

try TFR.... traffic film remover. its strong stuff but can be mixed with water to weaken it, spray it on and use a piant brush in bad areas then wash off using a hose being careful of electrical components. a steam cleaner would give a much better result rather than a hose. i have used this before and worked really well. truck cleaner is another good one. only problem is i dont know where you get them from but a body shop or car paint supplier could point you in the right direction.

hope this helps

my dad recommends using stuff called gunk ya put it onto the block then spray it off or something can't remember,
i'm sure autoglym do engine cleaner or degreaser drop alex the kid a pm and he'll help you out

like jp sed tfr you can get it off ebay if i correct and i sure you can get it from sum motorfactor place

i use muckoff carvan cleaner then autogylm engine cleaner works wonders

Gunk is good stuff which will clean it well..

i got some engine cleaner/ degreaser which is good too in a orange tin which u brush on and just wash off

Wicked, cheers guys. Pretty sure I've got some Gunk somewhere in the garage...or Andy has

The autoglym tyre shine is good for cleaning all the black things- brings them up nice and shiney.
