Best way to clean very grimy engine bay?
Discussion
Hi,
Just been looking at handheld steam cleaners for the engine bay of my Pug. It is really the grimmist engine bay I have seen due to a leaky rocker cover for one but I expect leaks elsewhere too and the fact it has never ben cleaned from what I can tell. It's sat in the garage at the moment so not worried about having to use it straight away afterwards.
I have so far tried agitating it with a brush after spraying Gunk Ultra Degreaser, then low pressure washing it off. It's still filthy. My housemate has Carplan degreaser, which I've not tried. Just thinking it needs a bit more of a tougher approach.
So does PH think a handheld steamer would be a worthwhile investment?
Thanks,
Pest

Can't see that thread sorry. Am of course a bit wary of jet washing/steaming so thought a little hand held would be perfect although much longer as it'll allow me to get into the bottom of the engine bay and all the little nooks on the way up etc. Not that bothered if it takes a few hours to be honest just want something that'll clean it and allow me to see what's what and wear the leaks are.
