TFR and a 150degree steam cleaner. done mine a few times, takes 2 minutes and makes it 1000% better. none of this fannying about with cleaning stuff by pulling pipes off and what not. just leave car running while you do it, it is absolutely fine. never had issues doing it

turn your lights on full beam for a bit after to disperse condensation in the lamps if needbe

I just used autoglym engine cleaner. A paint brush to scrub and hosed it down and turned out nice. Will post a pic of before and after. Try searching as i had a few posts asking same question and guys have some good tips on what to protect (alternator, electrics etc) if hosing down and different types of cleaning stuff. Just really takes some good scrubbing Smile
