 But, it's not great when you look closely, especially in hard to access areas around the engine block where the injectors are, one area I'm really not happy about

You've got to meet my wife at the meet, Marcin. She thinks I'm OCD, but I think she'll change her mind!

I took off all the plastics and sprayed them well and left it like that for good hour. Then I gently wiped over removing any excess. Engine block I cleaned using AG Alloy Wheel cleaner, really good, but some spots brake cleaner (on the cloth) tackled better than alloy cleaner. In awkward places I just sprayed a little alloy cleaner on a little paint brush, dabbed it few times until cleaner dissolved the dirt and brush absorbed it, cleaned the brush properly after each time. Metal clips etc around the pipework alloy cleaner as well. Hoses, pipes with WURTH's industrial cleaner

Just used my clay mitt today, and, wow.. did pretty much the whole car in half an hour. OK, it was clayed in september or so, but still.. Oh, then another wash, a polish, some black hole and then wax.. Looks super-shiny, until I have to drive to Tyndrum on Friday.
