A steam clean is always good.. but make sure you wrap up any sensitive electronics and leave the engine running.

Try and aim any jets of steam etc away from belts and electrical connectors...

Other than that- theres plenty of good quality engine dressing products on the market- I dont personally use anything than elbow grease and usual stuff.... Engine is usually under the bonnet and not seen.

Unless you got some bling to show off

The electrics and sensor etc are really exposed on the Cliosport engines, and prone to lots of problems if steam on pressure washers used. you can be lucky but not worth the risk.

Don't jet wash engines bays the electronics arn't good at the bst of the times that goes for any car realy IMO.
