wear washing up gloves when you do as itll burn your skin. You may want an old toothbrush and nail brush as well

No, just the electrical wires etc, just be wary of where you are spraying water.

Very Nice Wedge xthumbup Its so easy to do and it makes such a difference to the overall appearance of the car. I took my car for a service today and they commented how nice it was to see a clean engine bay on a 10 year old car

 

[PORTHOS]

Looking GREAT lads!

If you let that engine/machine cleaner dry though you get a white film on everything, best wash it off afterwards then apply the dressing.

 

[niallbrady]

Ohh yeah, i meant let the dressing dry #-o

 

[mario_v]

If I get the gunk/degreaser on the timing chain wll it not squeak afterwards? I say this because on my old glanza I got some on the timing belt and what a noise it made for ages.
