How do you clean all the parts under the bonnet?
I realise those modded cars that people put on display at Motorshows have a really clean engine compartment. Do they use some sort of spray or something? How do they do it?

Weel from experience if you want them so clean they shine in the dark you'l have to remove them and clean them individualy but then agian spraying 2-3 cans of engine degreaser does an alright job

Can degreaser be sprayed over "every" part?

if your car has a distributor wet it as little as possible
 , they can handle a bit of water but not to much.

i usually just bag anything electrical..ie dizzy, fuses etc, then drown the engine bay in degreaser, leave it sit, then blast it with a high pressure hose.

my engine bay is VERY clean generally, many of the parts are painted, and the ones that wernt have been thougherly cleaned when off the car, and care has been taken not to get them greasy esp the part on the upper half of the motor.
for shows tire shime works a treat on any blacks suck as plastic or rubber |

I'm about to spray some heavy duty degreaser onto the engine compartment.
I have highlighted all the parts which need to be protected from the water to hose it all off. Have I missed any electrical component, or other part which should be covered up? see photo below: Attachment: AUs1.JPG [ 67.2 KiB | Viewed 136 times ]
