First Time Engine Detailing

[Stu C]

A local hand car wash does engine bay steam cleaning for a tenner, so I was going to opt for that, although I too am a little worried incase something goes amiss afterwards.

Wouldn't risk it with petrols, and most modern diesels. Old school derv's yeah no problem, did our Maestro diesel after spilt oil everywhere after a service, d'oh! Jet washed it all out and it came up spanking! Used to do the 600 too as all the ecu gubbins was inside the cabin

Some of this ^ should do the trick, but instead of washing off with hose use like Tim said, damp cloth with plenty of water in a bucket etc.. to rinse the cloth clean
