engine cleaning

Hoping to go to the FCS so need to get cleaning and polishing but dont no where to start or best products,especially the engine ! I eventually want to get Woody to detail it but not got the £ for that at the moment.Any advice and/or tips please :001_unsure:
 
Buy some APC (All purpose cleaner) or you can get engine cleaner from Halfords and spray into the engine bay and agitate with a paint bush.

Then use very low pressure from a hose pipe to wash the cleaning liquids away, I then just dress the engine in a rubber and vinyl product such as 303 Aerospace Protectant but something like Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care should do the job.

That’s all I do, just don’t go using high pressure water in the engine bay and you will be fine.
