nocrap 0 Posted November 16, 2006 I used the '3 in 1' universal degreaser, yellowy greenish tin. Worked really well on removing built up oil and general crud. It also smells nice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted November 16, 2006 When my dad cleans his engine bays on his vans he just sprays WD40 all over and gives it all a steam clean and they come up immaculate, he done that to one of his vans that had an oil leak and the engine was black all over and looked rank but now looks great. Just gotta be careful when steam cleaning engine bays make sure you dont get any in the air inlets etc! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue95 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Cover battery, alram, anyting with alot of wires!!!! Also if using pressure wash don't go in too close! Make sure you regrease any bits after you done as well, think I did throttle cable, carb, g/box mech. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy665 0 Posted November 19, 2006 Posted in another thread (The Syncro has landed) is the results using Autoglym Machine cleaner, old paintbrush and a hosepipe - fantastic results for minimal effort, best product I've ever used for general cleaning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
