Good Morning Everyone

Having now fixed a window and serviced my Engine (With Gearbox and Diff oil Change next)

Can anyone recomend a suitable cleaner to smarten up the Engine Bay?

Daisy all purpose cleaner was said to be good, but only available from Tescos.

Thanks.

I use a General APC…any will do

Dilute it a little and spray on and agitate with brush and wipe off with a cloth…

Be careful around the electrical components and run the engine for 20 mins to help the drying…then allow to cool before applying some Dressing

…Aerospace 303 is good for this

Hi, I use WD40, a decorators flitch brush [because it has a long reach], microfibre cloth and for the rubber/plastic bits to give a nice shiney appearance Autoglym [rubber/plastic cleaner]. My engine bay never gets oily so I cannot advise what to do regarding getting rid of the old oil etc., I have used Flash bleach spray cleaner initially on my diesel van’s plastic engine cover to get rid of stubborn oil but I don’t think Detailers on this forum would recommend that .

Oh and you need plenty of patience and plasters

I use Wilko lavender anti-bacterial wipes.
