Hire a steam cleaner? I watch a lot of the discovery turbo programs like wheeler dealers, and 'a car/bike/harley etc is born, and they sometmes use steam cleaners to bring up really nasty looking engines...

And whatever you use be careful if you use it on your drive that you wash it off properly. Lesson learnt :-[
