You're welcome.
Some day I might actually update this again with everything else I have learned...
Someday...

Using this forum, and buying some of the products recommended I have been rapt with the results, and the ease.
2 buckets, noodle wash mitt, waffle-weave drying cloth and good quality car shampoo have been a revelation!
Thanks!

You ought to use some clay on it and some paint cleaner. The end-result will have you amazed. Don't bother with hand applied polishes. Just wax it after.

Yeah I have bought a clay bar and am planning on using it when I can spend the day on claying, polishing and waxing the car in the one day. Never done it before so will report back on how I go.

Could someone please outline in the picture below what i should be covering when i detail the engine bay?
Have bought some Autoglym cleaner to make the bay pop a little more now its starting to look a little more interesting
Just worried about frying electrics/pushing water in the engine.
Yes i know there is always water in the engine bay when raining, i would just rather be extra safe when directly spraying.
Thanks guys
Oh and any recommendations for a good water based plastics detailer?

I have watched many videos of people degreasing engine bays but so far havent attempted this myself not even with my DIESEL HILUX
Any advice welcome

Then again I may just be paranoid!

Bought some Art Deshine products, will post how they go, the nano sealant after waxing does a nice finish. Only test done so far.
