I'll link you to my old video, I made, for a forum that I use to run.

Same applies here, but imageshack are pay to use now, so use http://imgur.com/ to get the URL of the image.

You don't have OCD and a steam cleaner :).

No offence Mike, I wish mine looked like that.

I think the V6 petrol engine tend to be less grubby than oily diesels .. saying that I used to keep my my 2.5 TD Omega engine cleanish ..

Muckanic, like it! Well if the world stops ordering bridles, perhaps you could diversify into Bongo engine cleaning. I admit it's quite a niche market but I wouldn't want to let any inexperienced monkey loose with a steam cleaner on an engine that is effectively on the inside of the car!

I have a fairly hefty petrol motor jet wash - it can clean up footpaths, concrete surfaces and mucky bikes - took a bit of the paintwork off the trailer mudguards so not applied to vehicle paintwork. Yes I am a muckanic not yet given the TD its wash yet - I kinda like it as is - termed an honest motor in the trade - not repaired or messed with (please don't take a sicky now) lol
