My Scoob engine bay desperately needs a good clean, and seeing as the old detailer 2 pack isn't available anymore, does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried Gunk, but it's not that good, and made more of a mess

I'm putting the Scoob back on the road this week. As it hasnt been used, the battery is flat, and got to get a jerry can from work to get some 99RON as there's not enough petrol to get to Tesco's.

Matt gave me some great stuff...

think it was Mothers multi-purpose cleaner, or something.

you water the stuff down and spray it on / wipe of... simple as...

give him a shout, he's Prob got some in stock.

or you can have some of mine to try.

Get some Megs Super Degreaser, mix down to a 4:1 ratio (4 parts water) and spray over the engine after hosing down.

Let it soak, rinse and re-apply and agitate with toothbrush for stubborn bits. Rinse again and let it dry.

Do all this with the engine running.

Then dress the bay with whatever you normally use for plastics, metal and paint.

Or... PM the resident detailing expert, Matt Neame and ask for him to spare an hour or so to come and do it for you .

Quality mate, noticed quite a few more bolts missing now, oh well, good excuse to put stainless steel ones in their place
