Did my youngest lads Fiesta today. Sprayed the complete engine bay with WD40 then, agitated with a brush, an additional spray with some brake cleaner and finally a wash down with very slightly soapy water applied with a plant spray to prevent any wiring or electrical damage. I then gave it another light spray with WD and a wipe with an cloth suffused with WD to give it a nice finish.
Only the alternator disappoints tbh. I think I'll need to remove it and the support bracket and give it a couple of coats of silver paint.
