The engine of my Prius is very dusty now, I want it clean but don't want to take any risks regarding the electricals, what products should I use to clean it to an acceptable level?

Get the astonish engine degreaser. cost 190 per bottle and is a quite concentrated. You can get it from Al-Fateh in centaurus. If you cant find it there, I have half a bottle with me, i can give you that.

wash the engine with a stream of water, spray the degreaser once, leave it for 4-5 minutes so it can do its job. use a brush to agitate the grease if you think its caked on. wash. If still not happy, repeat the process.

Copy that! Thanx for quick help bro will get it once tough exams are over

Use a microfiber finishing pad with Dual action polisher with any liquid wax. This red will go glossy. Candy licking water glosss.

On the topic of this Dual Action Polisher, I noticed that some people purchased the "Meguiar's DA Power System", which attaches onto the regular drill machine. How good is it ?

A waterless/rinseless wash in a sprayer bottle would you the safest bet (to eliminiate the water/shampoo part). For the meguiars range, its this http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g3626-ultimate-wash-and-wax-anywhere/ . There are other options in several brands and I use one from a US based brand.
APC in a sprayer bottle at a lighter dilution should help you too here. You can choose to spray on the parts or towel.
I dont think it'll have grease marks at this point which wont go away with this and would require degreaser/apc in a sprayer bottle.

First of all thanks for such a detailed guide , but since I had a very busy week, wasnt able to go to shopping for my wife(car ) so scheduled out some time from tomorrow. I just need to know that whats "seal" in detailing terms and how do I do that and with which product? And also needs to know the difference between wax and compound.

Thanks.

Haye.....bhai jaaaaan......Car wax is a substance that is rubbed onto a vehicle's exterior. It is then allowed to dry before being wiped off, creating a protective layer for the vehicle's paint and clear coat. Compound is a substance that we also rub onto the vehicles exterior. It is used as an abrasive to remove a layer of paint or clear coat to enhance paint finish.

"Seal" is a term we use when we talk about protection for the car`s paint. What sort of weather do you live in? What sort of maintenance can you do with the car?
