Engine Bay Cleaning

[Tom|Nbk]

This is how my engine bay is currently looking, have you guys got any tips for cleaning this my mate just pointed out it was a bit of a state and I kind of agree, what type of products would you use and what techniques (toothbrush and elbow grease?). Obviously if I did clean it I would have to be extremely careful. Is there anywhere that would steam clean it for me?

Is it just the Diesel engines that have the plastic covers?. Ive just bought a 1.6 Zetec and mine looks exactly like Tom|Nbk's. Well saying that mines actually clean as a whistle , it was a 1 previous owned car so he must have kept it clean.

Ahh you got a Focus then, pics, price, mileage, etc?

I was just going to say I'll update my thread but then i noticed your the OP . Thanks for all the help BTW I'm really glad i got a Focus instead of a Saxo now. Loads of leg room, head room etc, plus its really comfy.

I ended up getting a 1.6 Zetec 5 door in black with 74k on the clock but its got full service history at a ford garage and its a 1 owner car. The paintwork is in good condition, there are no scratches or anything but it could do with a good wash and wax. The rear number plate is a bit tatty so I'm going to order a new set and get some clear side and front repeaters as well . Oh and it also came with a Blaupunkt head unit which is better than the tape player that came with the other one i looked at.

I'll get some pics tomorrow when its light and then take some when Ive washed it and fitted the new number plate etc.

Sounds great. Come on MSN if you can
