Default Engine bay cleaning/detailing...

Anyone know of any places that do a good job for a decent price? Around Parramatta/Hills area would be good

My engine bay has been pretty dirty since i bought the car, would like to get it looking more like some of the other people on this site.. It makes me feel bad every time there is a pic of a nice engine bay, lol.

No Silicone Based Shines on Plastics

Use the Meguairs Trim Cleaner and a spray Bottle of Soapy water and it will come up mint !

The car wash down at Baulkham hills use Meguairs products (opposite the Bull and Bush). You could see what they use internal cleaning. I would guess that thet would use high pressure in the engine bay.
