£100
Important
This service covers the accessible top section of the engine bay only.
Vehicles with active/significant oil leaks or excessive oil contamination may not be suitable for this service due to drainage/environmental requirements and insurance/service restrictions.
Our Engine Bay Top Section Detail combines careful inspection, safe degreasing, controlled steam cleaning, detailed hand cleaning and appropriate dressing of suitable plastic and trim components.
Rather than aggressively pressure-washing the engine compartment, our technicians use a controlled cleaning process designed around the condition and layout of the vehicle.
Over time, the upper engine bay can accumulate:

Your service includes:
Step 1
Before cleaning begins, our technician visually inspects the accessible engine-bay area.
We check for obvious issues that may affect whether the service can safely proceed, including:
If we identify something that makes cleaning inappropriate, we may recommend that the issue is repaired before detailing takes place.
Step 2
Suitable cleaning/degreasing products are applied to appropriate accessible areas where required.
Products and application methods are selected according to the surface and level of contamination.
We do not simply flood the entire engine bay with degreaser.
Step 3
Steam is used where appropriate to help loosen and remove dirt and grime from suitable areas.
Steam allows our technicians to work in a more controlled way than simply pressure-washing the entire engine compartment.
Important
Steam is not automatically applied to every component.
Sensitive areas are treated according to the technician's assessment.
Step 4
Brushes, cloths and detailing tools are used to clean accessible areas requiring more precise attention.
This may include suitable accessible:
Step 5
Once cleaning has been completed, accessible treated areas are appropriately dried.
Our technicians take care to minimise unnecessary moisture remaining within the engine compartment.
Step 6
Suitable plastic and trim areas are dressed where appropriate.
This helps improve the overall presentation of the engine compartment and provides a cleaner, finished appearance.
Dressing is not applied where the technician considers it inappropriate for the component.
Step 7
The engine bay is visually inspected after cleaning and finishing.
The technician checks the areas treated and completes any appropriate finishing touches.
Modern engine bays can contain numerous sensitive components and electrical systems.
Our service is therefore based on controlled cleaning rather than indiscriminately flooding the entire engine compartment with water.
Our technicians determine the appropriate cleaning method for each area.
Professional Engine Bay Detailing Is About Control — Not Using as Much Water as Possible.
This needs to be understood before booking.
Our £100 Engine Bay Top Section Detail is a detailing/cleaning service.
It is not an oil-leak repair or specialist contaminated-engine cleaning service.
Oil-contaminated cleaning water must not simply be allowed to enter surface-water drainage systems or contaminate the surrounding area.
As a mobile detailing company, we have to consider where contaminated runoff could travel during cleaning.
Our service is designed for professional cosmetic cleaning and detailing of suitable engine bays.
Heavy oil contamination, active mechanical leaks and specialist contaminated-component cleaning can fall outside the scope of the service we are able to provide.
Cleaning an engine bay while oil is actively leaking does not resolve the underlying mechanical problem.
Where an active/significant leak is identified, we may ask you to have the fault professionally repaired before booking the Engine Bay Top Section Detail.
The £100 Engine Bay Detail covers the accessible visible upper engine-bay area.
IncludedAccessible upper engine bay
Not IncludedUndertrays / underside / dismantling / repairs
Our standard service is carried out around accessible components.
We do not dismantle the engine or remove mechanical components as part of the £100 service.
Our goal is to significantly improve the appearance of the accessible upper engine bay.
However, detailing cannot reverse every form of age, wear or damage.
Important
Complete removal of all staining, grease or contamination cannot be guaranteed.
Results depend on the condition, age, materials and previous maintenance of the engine bay.
Engine bays are exposed to heat, vibration, moisture and years of use.
Older vehicles in particular may contain:
Our technician will take reasonable care during the service.
However, cleaning cannot repair existing deterioration.
Where an engine bay appears unsuitable for safe detailing, we reserve the right to decline or stop the service.
If your engine bay contains aftermarket:
please tell us before the appointment.
Where possible, upload photographs when booking.
The technician may modify the cleaning process or avoid particular components where necessary.
The engine bay is often overlooked when preparing a vehicle for sale.
A professionally presented engine compartment can complement:
Our Engine Bay Top Section Detail can therefore be added alongside an appropriate Medusa Pre-Sale Valet or detailing package.

We come to your suitable location within our London service area.
Our Engine Bay Top Section Detail is £100 as standard for suitable vehicles.
We use appropriate degreasing, steam and detailed hand cleaning rather than simply blasting the engine compartment.
Suitable accessible plastics and trim are dressed after cleaning.
We travel directly to suitable homes and workplaces within our London service area.
We don't pretend detailing can repair oil leaks, mechanical faults, corrosion or damaged components.
If the engine bay isn't suitable for our normal cleaning process, we'll advise accordingly.

If there is an active/significant oil leak or excessive oil contamination, we may be unable to carry out the service due to contaminated runoff, drainage considerations and the scope of our insurance/service.
Send us photographs before booking if you're unsure.
Cleaning significant oil contamination can create contaminated wastewater/runoff that must not simply enter drains or the surrounding environment.
Heavy oil contamination and active mechanical leaks can also fall outside the scope of our normal mobile detailing service.

No.
Medusa Auto Detailing provides detailing and cleaning services.
We do not diagnose or repair mechanical oil leaks.
Please have the vehicle assessed by an appropriate mechanic.
Potentially, yes.

No.
Complete removal of all staining or contamination cannot be guaranteed.
Some oils, chemicals and long-term contamination can permanently stain or deteriorate materials.
Engine bays contain electrical, mechanical and sensitive components, so no physical cleaning process should be advertised as completely risk-free.
Our technicians use a controlled process and adapt the cleaning method according to the vehicle and visible condition.
If we believe the engine bay is unsuitable for normal detailing, we may decline the service.
Potentially.
Older and classic vehicles can have different electrical systems, aged components and more fragile materials.
Please send photographs before booking so we can assess suitability.
Potentially.
Tell us about aftermarket components and send photographs before booking.
The technician may need to avoid certain components or alter the cleaning process.
Because electric and hybrid vehicles have different high-voltage components and manufacturer requirements, suitability should be confirmed before booking.
Please send us the vehicle make, model and photographs first.
Yes.
