Under bonnet wax/clean up
I'm thinking of cleaning under the bonnet of my scooby but the dealer recommended not to saying that from new the car was waxed/waxoiled or coated in something or other in the engine bay to protect all the engine components etc from corrosion.
It looks kind of green, sticky residue now together with the dirt and dust built up after 4 and a bit years so I obviously would like to clean it up but not if it has a detrimental effect.
What do you reckon? Car is stock by the way so theres nothing exciting to show offf I just like a clean engine bay.

The product sold by Halfords which is often mentioned is CD2. It's a degreaser, but I don't know if it includes a protector as well. The kit sold by Mark definitely does include the protector.

I just hosed mine off with cold water.
You need to protect the air filter (if you have an induction kit), alarm and the altenator. If you use a power washer thingy, you must cover the intercooler

What parts of the engine bay NEED to be covered/protected from the CD2 and water?
