I have been told that steam cleaning is dangerous for the electronics, is that true??

My new car to be has a filthy engine bay, which is my pet hate number one

Any suggestions??

Thanks, I take it that Halfords is an engine cleaning product??

We dont get it here in SA

My question is a bit different, do you hose it down/steam or is halfords a dry cleaning product??

You spray it on, leave for a few minutes then clean off. Certain areas need cleaning with water afterwards.
