I've used the Halfords stuff and it's very good. The bonus is there's no need to use a nasty Jetwash.
If the engine bay's really grimey, then you may need to do 2 applications of the degreaser or at least rub off some of the stubborn stuff.

I have a friend, who insists on washing his engine bay. Why, I have no idea, but he does.
He has been through 3 alternators, and a set of timing belt idler pulleys, from damage from water ingress.
What a pillock.

not been cleaned in five months
You should see Alan Garrod's engine bay. You could eat your dinner off it and he still insists he doesn't clean it

I have done my engine this way many many times to get mud from under the hood, never had any problems. Some people do have problems but I guess that just comes down to common sense, where to spray.

Steam cleaning or jet washing the engine is not a good idea unless you know exactly what your doing! The scooby engine is very complex with loads of electronics, sensors etc under the bonnet, if you get water on the wrong bit you could cause yourself a right headache!
Ask your self is it really neccessary, stop tarting about and get in and drive you muppets!
