One of them has a clean engine bay the other has an engine bay
You can get it cheaper, but not much in it by the time you add on postage;

Apologies boys and girls... for a car with such low mileage, i agree that the engine bay should be spruced up....

Depends on what you’re using it for as it’s an APC - all purpose cleaner.tomoz4white wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 9:25 amWhat's the mix to water?
For an engine bay, off the top off my head, somewhere between 1/20 & 1/10 - really depends on how much oil and grime has accumulated. Yours really wasn’t that bad, so I’d start out with 1/20 and see how you go.
Spray on with a trigger bottle, leave a few minutes, agitate with a detailing brush or something like a modestly firm paintbrush and wipe away the residue with microfibres. Once everything is dry use some of the stuff Ian was talking about on the plastics and hoses

The engine and machine cleaner is a great product, it’s just really expensive for the quantity you get. The other product is also good. So, yes, they will do the jobtomoz4white wrote: ↑Sun Jun 25, 2023 10:42 amWould this do the job?

I’d suggest a hose with a ‘rain fall’ type option would be ok for rinsing if you’re careful, personally wouldn’t use a pressure washer under the bonnet… but many do.
