Hi ,
I want to degrease my very oily engine bay .
What"s the best product to use and are there any areas that I would need to protect from the chemical and water ?

I was never a fan of Gunk. In my experience it just formed a horrible slimy mass which wasn't miscible with water.
I much preferred using Jizer, which formed a proper emulsion with water. Nowadays I buy whatever is the cheapest degreaser from the motor factors.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Ive just replaced the rocker gasket on the S1 black Xantia TD, then used the aerosol spray gunk...
Did a wonderfull job on the head, didn't realise it was an alloy head under that oil !!
I thought it did a great job - and I just poured a watering can over it to wash it off...
