engine and engine bay cleaning!
« on: 01 October 2011, 10:59 »
What is best to shift all the crap in my engine bay? I want to re-wrap my loom and replace clips and paint a few things :)

Done my Mk3 bay yesterday with G101 and it came up ok. Mine had a lot of wax sprayed on chassis legs and inner wings so just used some hot water and and a soft scrubbing brush and came off revealing nice shiny paint. Mine is all stripped down though!!

Cheers for the recommendations guys, I'll check the products out :) I was considering using panel degreaser but I don't know if it will be strong enough. Plus, I bought some aerosol engine degreaser a while back and it was shore lol. Made my hoses go all white  :undecided:

after you have finished cleaning and/or jetwashing then you can finish it off with autosmart finish... perfect for engine bays.. spray on and leave... job done :)
