This took only 10 minutes,1 cheap ebay brush, G101 APC and a hose pipe, and a little Meguires engine dress, Engine from a Spec D

 

any before shots?

looking good though

 

Here you go mate, this was about 6 weeks before I had to change the battery.

 

mega

 

This was done with just G101 All purpose cleaner, I have been told that Asda do an APC which is nearly as good as the G101 which can be had for £1.00.

 

what mix did you use

 

4-1 for an engine bay or even 2-1 if there's a lot of oil/grease. sooooo much cheaper than using a degreaser and a lot more versatile.

 

Did you need to cover anything before using the hose pipe on the bay?

 

Personally I don't but you need to be sensible with the hose, if you have a multi spray function on the end of the hose set it to a rain/shower setting and rinse quickly rather than soaking it.
I have always done it like this and never had any problems, but if you feel like you need to cover electrical bits and pieces then tin foil wrapped around the components is a good way of doing it

 

Cool might get mine done now the weather is warming up, it's not dusgusting but could always do with a clean

 

looks good mate, end up using APC all the time now

 

me to, I done the wheels the other day be fore I used a sealant on them, the apc worked better than my normal wheel cleaner.
