Guys just go to the store and get some engine degreeser. Cover any electrical things like your alarm with a bag and a rubber band. Drive the car so the engine is hot, that's when the stuff works best. Then spray the whole bottle all over under your hood. After you have used up the entire bottle jose off the stuff and you wont be dissappointed. It works great. P.S. I wouldn't be too picky or afraid of getting some electrical parts wet because if they do get get wet, your car will act funny for one day or until the parts dry and then your car will act fine after that. Trust me I know it sound wronge but I'm telling you from experience, I do this throughout the year.

Have you got sound proof wadding under your hood?
My engine's fine, could be cleaner but every time I lift
the hood theres that dirty black sound proofing staring
back at me. Any recommendations on cleaning it without
harming the sound and water proofing qualities of the
wadding? Any product recommendations welcome!
