Thanks for the compliments David (and all you other Autopians!)

For engine compartments, I use Auto Magic's Degreaser on a cold engine and let it dwell for a couple of minutes. Then spray with a power washer and cold water, and dry with compressed air and old terry towels. This removes any water spotting and gives a nice appearance to the compartment.

With Bimmer's heavy use of plastic panels to dress the engine compartment (there's an engine in there somewhere LOL), I don't have to avoid spraying certain areas.

The degreaser is very similar to the kerosene based Gunk product (sure smells the same IMO).
