Afterall, im not really looking for a museum quality detailing job, i just want show go-ers how original and clean the compartment is.

I've found another product that works pretty well. Its made by pennzoil, and its called "Steam Premium". It comes in a big 22oz can, and one is enough to do the job. I've never had any luck with the Gunk stuff, but this seems to work pretty well.

Here's a tip for this nasty job. If you have a house, hook up a hose to the hot water heater tank. There's a valve at the bottom that will accept a hose. The hot water works better. Kind of a poor man's steam cleaner. Make sure you use gloves though, the hose gets hot pretty quick.
