Ok, point taken about the dizzies!

Autoglym alloy cleaner is great stuff, with soap you need to work at the brake dust, with this it just falls off with a wipe.

well after a while you will wear away all the laquer and then they will not look like new, the whole point of these products is they're made with the intent of not wearing away at the clear laquer coating.
I suppose you use fairy liquid on your bodywork aswell, and loreal styling range as wax, lol

what about alternator n dizzy n leccy bits??

only think u need to bag off is the induction kit if you have one, everything else is fine

does steam cleaning do the job then??? do u still have to bag all the bits mentioned off??

just give it to a steam cleaners and let them do it!

£15 a touch

use a old rag, put either petrol/brake cleaner/paint thinners and wipe clean :D

Can you make a tarnished bare alloy cylinder head shine again?

use autoglym engine and machinery cleaner followed by autoglym vinyl and rubber care, use cling film on stuff like alternator and coil first and disconnecting the battery wouldnt go a miss.
Then it should like nice and spangly like mine.
For tips on all valeting stuff just look on www.autoglym.co.uk it tells you everything you will need to know about car valeting, of course its just to sell their products but wehat the hell, they work so damn good anyway, especially their alloy wheel cleaners

Just wipe the engine with an oily rag :)

did mine yesturday, used muck off and a hose, dont use a pressure washer, made that mistake before and it went striahgt through the cam belt, lol

you'll need to bag up a few things first.. like alternator, plugs, distributor, battery etc.. stick a plastic bag and an elastic band round 'em

Leave it running whilst you do it

yeah you can, but fingers crossed it starts again ;)

anybody got any tips for cleaning the engine. i cant just stick my presure washer in there can i?
