Cover alternator, intercooler, alarm and obvious electics. Soak in your choice of cleaner...Gunk, Daisy etc. Allow to penetrate the grime, agitate with a brush. Rinse with a low pressure hose. Repeat as necessary. Allow engine to idle for 10 mins, bonnet down. Apply rubber / vinyl dressing. Go for a drive.
Lift bonnet, admire and savour. Drop bonnet and relax:thumb:

If its really bad Gunk will do the trick. Agitate stubborn dirt with a brush then pressure wash at a low setting. Done mine over 2 years ago and have had no problems at all. I left to dry with the engine running then once cooled sprayed the whole engine bay with Swissvax Motor Shine which seals everything and disperses any moisture left. Only needs a quick wipe down now. :thumb:
