Under bonnet cleaning

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
As the heading say's what's the best cleaner for under the bonnet. I'm at a loose end just now so have decided to clean the engine bay of Range rover, as the others are very clean. Fair bit of plastic so what are your suggestions for degreasing products. Have used Surfex in the past but open to suggestions. Ta
G 101 does a good job
 
Thanks for all suggestions, well, finally went with what I know, Surfex HD. Range Rover engine was not too bad with only 13000 miles. Only off roading has been climbing a pavement, probably the same as the majority of owners. The majority of under the bonnet is covered with plastic, so actually ended up using my most recent buy of Autoglym Tyre dressing gel & Gummi Phlege for the rubber seals. Plastic came up really well, hope it dosn't melt during the night:mad: Will see how long it lasts:rolleyes: Must say my cleaning is not up to the standards of the pics previously posted, they are so impressive.👍
 
Oh go on then lol

A mate's dad turned up with his 3 year old fiesta (owned from new) and asked if this could be cleaned.
Covered the main areas with some plastic bags (alternator, battery, fuse box and MAF), covered with APC, agitated with a brush and pressure washed off.
Wiped down with cloths.
Removed bags, wiped over and sprayed the eletical bits with WD40
The rest with Autosmart Highsyle dressing
All done in 20 minutes

I always use Meguiars engine cleaner/ detailer! The engine bay was certainly dusty on purchase and looks better now. Will certainly need another pass as the plastic trim around the windscreen wipers have been totally neglected!
