use one called "engine nv" or as you mentioned auto glym. both are good; the autoglym can be used on plastic, rubber etc too. use wire brushes. i find gunk too much of a faff to use and wouldn't bother.

i stole trafic film remover from work and used that, your spose to dilute it but i didnt and its come up gleaming

[MechaT]

I used gunk and scrubbed it with a bog brush :!:
Afterwards used Autoglym Bumber And Vinyl Care which, oddly enough, can be used on the engine bay.
It made all the plastic and pipework shiny and the top-end of the engine come up gleamy and bling. Looks propa bo I tell thee

I always use derv for cleaning an engine down with a nice hard brush and a pressure washer. Also Traffic film remover work although not as effective
