Just make sure you protect the alloy parts after cleaning or you'll have a corroded mess in a few weeks.....
That's what the sticky goo on the manifolds etc does when you buy the car new.

Yeah - I used the ("wax wizard") engine cleaning kit yesterday. Smart results, and I pressure-sprayed EVRYTHING. Didn't spray the alarm housing too much, but it certainly goot wet. I was dubious too, but it's OK - works just as per the instructions.

Floyd - it doesn't. The sticky goo is Cosmoline. The entire car is coated in the stuff when it is shipped from Japan. The primary reason is to protect the cars from salt water spray. When the cars reach the dockside in the UK (or any other country), the Cosmoline is blasted off using a combination of steam and parafin. As you can imagine, this would not do the engine any good, so it gets left on. Follow Mark Underwood's instructions and it can be removed easily and won't bugger up the alloy bits. Done it on both of my Scoobs with no problems.
