What's the best thing to use to clean the car engine?

A guy is coming to see my car at the weekend (see hibay :greengrin ) but he only wants the engine, it's a great engine but is a bit manky and I want to clean it up a bit.

Old fashioned soap and water do the trick?

I'm not spending money on expensive cleaning stuff, taking the engine out etc, just a quick once over.

You can, but just have to watch how powerful the water jet is and don't aim directly at any electrics. Mibbe that's why they call it steam cleaning in adverts :dunno:

Wot he said.

I used to co-own a car cleaning business and the amount of fan-dans that thought they could jet wash their engine compartment because they had seen professionals do it was unbelievable. You have to be really careful.
