Metal polish...

Then engine degreaser - autoglym do one too.

Rinse.. and spray-on the vinyl and bumper spray (for a layer of silicone protection).

Done!

Don't go steam cleaning though chaps - that sheeet is distructive!

I just wash the insides of the bay - paintwork, engine cover etc as I would wash the car normally. Then a quick blast with a jet wash. Always being careful not catch any electrics. I do this once a week so the engine doesn't have chance to get dirty.

me mate in his cars uses a tfr stuff with engine hot then jet wash`s it , looks good on cars he`s done ,

TFR is meant to be good stuff. My bro's mates get it from work. Like rocking horse shat though and meant to really expensive.
I use gunk which is quite good.

TFR is a stronger vesrion of Autoglym Engine and machine cleaner.

Us as little water as you need to remove the TFR, Low pressure from a hose pipe should be fine, anything that looks a bit suspect cover with a plastc bag.
