If you take the pressure washer to the engine bay make sure it's on low-medium. Don't use high power, ask me why I don't anymore

You have to be very careful and make sure you get no water in places like the distributor or AFM. Also try and steer clear of injectors and the headlight motor. I just pressure washed the bottom of the 951 and had a weird running/dying condition for a day and some other really scary sounds. I do not recommend doing it. Trust me, it's embarrassing pushing a porsche off to the side of the road.

Thanks to a persistent leaking lower balance shaft seal, my car gets the high press car wash monthly which includes the bay. She always drives away but I do avoid the head light motor <torn boot>, dist cap, and elec connections between the motor and firewall.

Blast away!

Where buy online "Castrol Super Clean" ?

I will clean my engine bay up and only get P21S degreaser and carb cleaner. Castrol super clean looks to be unavailable in Europe.

Well, re-read what most people said and give it a try dude. Spend the $15 dollars of whatever and buy something. Oh wait, how long will that take, like 2 years?

I've been very happy with Oil Flo solvent/degreaser. It is PH neutral and water soluble.

Default Castrol Super Clean

It's amazing stuff. Just remember to wear rubber gloves, it will do a number on your hands!
