Did my Hawk when we first got it and it's a ten minute job if that
Used Auto Glym Engine Cleaner/Degreaser and simply sprayed it on everything avoiding things like alternator etc, left it for ten minutes to do it's thing and power washed it off again avoiding the obvious and the difference is amazing

That's one transformation mate
Cheers for the info. Did you use a steam cleaner to attack really bad spots?
Or just agitate with a brush then pressure wash the hole Bay?

I was to nervous to use a pressure washer tin foil is the best if you do go down that route though to wrap the electrics
Best is autoglmn engine cleaner and plastics and vinyl cleaner and a selection of small brushes and a spray bottle woth hot water and take your time and it could take a few hours ( in my case days ) to do it right
Good fun and very rewarding so make sure you take before and after photos
Autosol is your best friend and cotton buds when your as Sad as me

A great Example of what can be achieved with AG and brushes
Tesco all per purpose cleaner is good for degreasing areas as well bit AG is worth it
Small pastry type brushes from bm bargains are better then tooth brushes
