Elllie the Elantra's (our beater/spare car) engine bay was pretty dirty - has 210k miles...
Did a very quick cleaning today...Not very good but loads better than it was for sure:

sprayed mildly with garden hose
sprayed Purple Power full strength everywhere
let it sit for about 5 minutes,
agitated SOME parts with a brush,
sprayed off again with garden hose
went for a quick 20 min drive
dried off with a rag
sprayed poor boys' trim/interior cleaner and 1z plastic cleaner (didn't have anything else)
wiped off residue - that's it.

BEFORE and AFTERs:

This little 2003 is a trooper for sure: 210k miles and only 1 repair (radiator replaced), and just regular maintenance done even less than recommended.
