Agree re the smell of Gunk,-like Jeyes Fluid.
Some use Jenolite. However, half a gallon of paraffin and stiff brush will
soften all the oily gunge. Then a bucket of scalding hot water with a good
dollop of dishwasher fluid. Use rubber gloves and be quick-it's quite
caustic which aluminium doesn't like.
Finish off with hot water and washing up liquid.
Every time you wash the car thereafter, wipe the engine and underbonnet area
down with a damp sponge. Never needs the full treatment after that.

Whats the point - its all under the bonnet anyway? And gets covered in oil
and general grime too.
