Started with White spirit and tooth brush on the air-con hoses, alternator, air-con compressor, fuel pipes turbo housing and hose.
Then get the engine warm and spray good old 'Gunk' over everything else. Worked it in on some areas or hard to reach areas with a medium sized paint brush.
Cover the battery with a carrier bag and spray the hole lot off with pressure washer. Taking it easy around the electricals, and keeping the engine running all the time.
Keep repeating with the 'Gunk' and paintbrush on area's missed and cleaning off with pressure washer before 'Gunk' dries.
Once done let it idle for 30mins to let it dry out.
Then a quick dress-up with some rubber/hose/plastic cleaner. All in, took about 2 hours. Well worth it and now easy to keep clean.
TBH could of probably skipped the white Spirit bit as the 'Gunk' really shifted the grime. Will just have to put up with the smell now for a bit. Will probably still smell at the meet next week (the car, not me...although I can still smell it).
