These are the only people I can think of who might be able to either do it, or put you in contact with someone who can. Based in Byfleet near Weybridge... Let us know if they can help.

edit: I think I prefer the dishwasher option!

I second the dishwasher option, that's all an engine shop does, its just that their engine washer is a bit bigger!

i put everything in the dishwasher.

 

 

 

Also, for alloy stuff, that you want to sparkle, try lobbing the item in a bucket of caustic soda for a few mins (no more or it will desolve) then scrub with a 'soap filled pad'

Actually Mr Muscle got rid of the lion share of the baked on oil and general crap however i found it did leave a whiteish residue on most of it (wiped off easily though) could try experimenting with some other degreasers (bleach?) or one of those washing machine ball things full of traffic film remover
