Tricolor - yes there probably was still some dirt, but i've had to take all the intake manifolds out since and now its really clean - LOL

JayKay - Spray it down from the top with 'Castrol Clean All' then take a garden hose
with the nozzle off and just use normal water flow to rinse everything off without any mist or spray etc... dont worry the dirt comes off easy. It might take a second spray/wash or even a soft
brush on the plastic pieces to get the heavy grime off (but the castrol works great). After
that warm it up and wipe off all the visible water (dont worry the rest will dry). Once its dry
get yourself a can of silicon sray (I use a very light silicon spray - not the 3in1 brand its really greasy) and spray down the entire bay and all... give it a few min then wipe off the excess and the rest dries off. The silicon spray protects all the plastic, rubber etc. Works like a charm...
(just dont use a pressure washer etc as you will get water into your electrical contacts etc - they are made splash proof - not water proof - lol - and you dont want to get any spray inside the car when the roof is partially open... just normal water flow from the hose)
