General maintenance help?
Hi guys a few queries being a noob:
1. What do you guys clean your engine bay with?
2. What can I do to tidy up the engine bay more?
There are three types of people in the world, the wise, the clever and the stupid. The wise learn from other people's mistakes, the clever learn from their own mistakes and the stupid don't learn at all.......

Get spray some "simple green"( I doubt they have it in the UK) let it sit for 10mins or so clean it up with a old shirt and lightly rinse it off. Make sure to cover ur intake

Some 2000 grit sandpaper works wonders on the valve cover, that's for sure.
Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish for metal parts (wipe off cleanly, stuff gets lot of junk off).
Uhh, I've used degreaser on the under-hood paint without any odd fade, may consider that too.

power wash it but cover your filter and cap, then spray wheel shine all over it and wash it off slowly
