| Steaming is the best option, however as that involves driving somewhere (and it's not insured, taxed or MOT'd) then the home method is more preferable.
This also has the advantage of not getting it too clean.... a bit of honest muck looks like your not trying TOO hard.
Get yourself a can of degreaser such a Gunk (yes, it's called that). Couple of washing up brushes from tesco to scrub the stuff in. Leave to soak and then Wash off with hot water.
Coupe of points to watch: -
If you've a nice driveway, it may be worth shoving the car onto the road. (unless you fancy cleaning the driveway after)
If you've access to a pressure washer, use that.
Covering the distributor cap/coil/plugs is not a bad idea - Food bags are usefull (as is a hot gun for displacing any trapped water!) |
