Cool. I'm too paranoid to wash the engine bay. Had a bad experience many years ago with a sierra cosworth (customers car). I steam cleaned the engine and it was missing like there's no tomorrow. Since then, I won't really do an engine on a turbo. My RS evo 4 needs it doing. There's some oil at the back end of the engine bay (bulkhead, around where the chassis number is).

Another thing good for alloy wheels is get some autoglym polish on them. They tend to stay cleaner longer and repel dust :)

Cool. I've used autoglym for a long time because I get it cheap and in the 5ltr cans. Used a lot of Autosmart products too when I used to do car valets.

Turtle wash & wax from good ol halfords. Its not expensive and it comes up without too much streaking. If its been that long I would T cut then after a good quality polish. I worked at a car showroom in southend years ago and this was a tried and tested formula. I promise you a light T cut and then a polish and it will be silk smooth. I know it takes ages but it will be smooth....

i know this isn't a popular method, but anyone ever tried steam cleaning? this company has auto detail shops that claim to provide good service.
