That is a great finish you have there Keith, very good shine. My engine bay is dirty and i am affraid to jet wash it, how have you done yours ?.
Funny enough i done mine today in my garage so the next few days i will use the wifes car.
Very good pictures.

This is how i clean the engine bay, first thing is to make sure the engine is cold,
then spray plenty of APC, degreaser or engine cleaner (avoid over spray on the air flow sensor and other electrical stuffs) then let it soak for few minutes.
Paint brush (can get it from B&Q for less than a pound) then used to loose the dirts and reach difficult places
and rinsing with plenty of water after
Dry with microfibre cloth and spray vinyl rubber care on all plastic surfaces and wipe it with microfibre cloth again to made sure it evenly spread, then keep the bonnet open for a while to let it dry natrually.
P.S Be careful when using pressure jet in engine bay cos i've seen so many people break something during jet wash it.
Goodluck mate!

Looking good!!
I also use Gliptone's leather care. Seems to do the job quite well.

And yes it's a good product but the fresh look doesn't seems to last long, and i don't really like the smell personally especially with the smell of Poorboys natural dressing (The combination gives you a smells like TOILET, i am serious!)
