There's some stuff that goes by the unlikely name of 'gunk' that you can brush on, or spray on to the affected areas. Then you just rinse it off with water. You don't need much of either to make a big difference, so it's much less risky than - for instance - jet washing.

 

On a general note, this section is intended for people to publish 'how-to' type threads in, rather than appeals for technical guidance. It's not a biggie, but you will tend to get more replies if you ask your questions in the mk1 Fabia forum.
