Default Engine bay and underside cleaning

Hi guys,

I'm new to all this cleaning lark. Used to be just a bucket and sponge job or down to the petrol garage for a £5 once over from the eastern european fellas but want to start taking a bit more care of the car.

Want to make a start with the worst parts of the car first which happen to be the under side and the engine bay which I don't think have been touched in the last 25 years.

Any tips on product or materials to use would be great.

Cheers, Tel

Thanks mate

I've ordered some off of ebay after reading up about it. I take it that for the more stubborn parts of grease etc then I leave it less concentrated?

Cheers for your help
