Clean engine - thanks jackdaroofer

I got some advice here and jackdaroofer and others told me to spray everything with Armorall Foaming Tyre Cleaner - the results -

I just used some foaming tire cleaner on mine yesterday. It made a difference, but not as big a difference as what you got.
That's amazing!
