i use GUNK for engine bay cleaning put in an old window clean spray bottle and an old paint brush then just jet wash out after
as for samcos depends where you live your in luck if you live close to a rally or racing type shop
most assessory shops will order them, doubt many hold in stock

Remember to put a load of plastic bags over any electrical equipment and to apply the gunk when the engine is warm.

Have a can of WD40 handy in case the car doesn\'t want to start after cleaning - it gets rid of water on electrical contacts.
