Steam Degreasing & Engine Bay Detailing
The engine bay is the most overlooked part of any car - and often the most telling. A clean engine bay shows a vehicle that has been properly maintained, makes it easier to spot leaks and faults, and significantly improves resale value.
Our professional engine bay cleaning service uses high-temperature steam to safely degrease and remove oil, grime and debris from every surface. Unlike pressure washing, steam delivers thorough cleaning with minimal water - reducing the risk of moisture ingress to electrical components. We come fully equipped to your location across Derby, Nottingham and the East Midlands.

Engine Bay Clean - Our Process
We follow a careful, methodical process to achieve a factory-fresh result without risk to your vehicle.
Sensitive Component Protection
Before any cleaning begins, we identify and protect sensitive electrical components, air intake areas and exposed connectors to prevent moisture ingress.
Degreaser Application
A professional engine degreaser applied to all oily, greasy surfaces and left to dwell and break down heavy contamination before the steam treatment begins.
High-Temperature Steam Clean
Steam at 130–150°C applied throughout the engine bay, lifting and removing oil deposits, grime, grease and road debris from all surfaces, hoses and components.
Detail Brushing
Soft detail brushes used to agitate and remove stubborn deposits in tight areas - around hoses, wiring looms and intricate components where steam alone cannot reach.
Plastic & Rubber Dressing
All plastic covers, rubber hoses and trim panels dressed with a protective product that restores colour, prevents cracking and leaves the engine bay looking factory-fresh.
Fully Mobile - We Come to You
All steam cleaning equipment and products come to your home or workplace across Derby, Nottingham and the East Midlands.
The Benefits of a Clean Engine Bay
Spot Problems Earlier
A clean engine bay makes it easy to identify fluid leaks, cracked hoses, frayed cables and worn components at an early stage - before they become expensive repairs.
Better Resale Value
When selling your vehicle, a clean engine bay is a strong signal of careful ownership. Buyers and dealers notice it - and it can add to your asking price.
Safer & Cooler Running
Heavy oil and grease deposits on engine components can trap heat and contribute to higher running temperatures. A clean engine bay supports better heat dissipation.
