Ian C Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Spray a shitload of Gunk on, leave for 2 minutes, pour on water to rinse off, let it dry, then use Brasso on the diecast metal and loads of cloths and Autoglym yellow on everything else. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hot pressure wash with lots of traffic film remover, then a good long run to dry everything off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 erm may be a silly question but is there not an issue with electics when spraying the engine bay with water and the such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I used stuff bought from michael on here - worked a treat - and i hosed down the bay - no electrical problems...remember to put a plastic bag on any non stock intake tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 No harm if you don't directly power wash black boxes, and are not doing it weekly. Modern underbonnet electronics are well sealed, and will dry out if you do a 50 or so mile run afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
