I would only give an F28 that sort of tratment. Painting an F20 is like wrapping a box of matches up with christmas wrapping paper. | |

Get the car warm, cover the gearbox in engine degreaser (Gunk or similar) let it soak in for a while. Cover all your electrics up with bags then steam clean. Repeat until clean! You could try a small stiff brush to work the degreaser in further if you can get to it! | |
