in the end i went and got a bottle of Autoglym engine de greaser and then used a product called Chemical Guys Bare Bones afterwards to give it a form of protection

That looks very tidy. I'd be happy with that. Did you cover any electrics when hosing off?

I've cleaned mine in this way, simply avoiding the fusebox area and covering battery terminals. All was well after the wash  :happy2:

Hi John

That's great, thanks. Did you have your engine running when hosing off? I've read a lot of posts about engine cleaning lately and there seems to be a lot of contradictory advise.

No I didn't have my engine running, have done with previous cars but don't really see any advantage in he golf since the whole thing's covered in plastic  :wink: different in older cars where the running engine would help standing water to evaporate...

Nice one. Cheers.

No hosing off done.

Simply spray on the degreaser/cleaner. Agitate with a brush. Spray some more on and wipe off with microfiber.
