How do you mean, just cleaning out the engine and bay out ?

If so its pretty easy, you just need some engine degreaser, a brush and some patience. Rinse it off with water from a small sprayer and thats it.

Some people have their engines steam cleaned, but this can get moisture into the electrics.

A bottle of Gunk and a washing up brush is all you need. Took me two evenings to clean mine.
