I use oven cleaner then blast it. Would not say do it as it does discolour plastics.

I wouldnt as it will away rubber in all sorts of places. 1l of autoglym engine cleaner costs about £6 from halfords, so its definitly worth it.

I use kitchen wipes to clean mine and a little bit of autoglym bumper and I have no issues with water and electrics!! I wouldn't risk a power washer with modern engines!
