autoglym engine and machine cleaner is very good! it's water based also so doesn't sting your eyes etc like the normal stuff. all i did was sprayed it liberally,left to soak in for 5or so mins then used an old nail/tooth brush and painting brushes to agitate any heavy grime etc, once thats done basically just hose off and repeat till your happy with it's cleanliness. i taped up any connectors etc with food bags.

hope this helps!

You're not meant to spray it in your eyes, point it at the engine bay :D
