I know i wont be entering my self but im still cleaning and polishing that engine bay ready for Japfest. Just incase im persuaded to open the bonnet.[]

NICE ONE - Partly raedy for swms as well then!

Yeh just working with the standard equipment at the moment.

ALot of my pipe work had oxidised, But using brake/engine cleaner, and metal polish, the parts i was working on have came up to a very good shine.

Nooooo i wasnt spraying it directly onto the eletrical parts, i was spraying the cleaner onto a cloth and going form there.

 I may be a bit nuttie at times but even the Monki has "Some" common sence. []

[scooby princess]

we got some engine cleaner and it said to cover all electrics and spray on then hose off - scared us witless!

[scooby princess]

can you recommend any stuff!

[monkip1]

I honestly would not get the hose out to wash the engine, even if im posative all the electrics are covered. There too much at risk.

For cleaning i used Normal Brake cleaner, and Engine cleaner from Halfrouds, and autoglyms Metal polish. But to be honest any metal polish would do.

I also used the cream colour rags you can buy from Wilkinson, and a pack of diffrent grades of metal wool.

I use the wool with brake cleaner to get off the oxidis-ation on the A/c pump(or i think it is, right next to the Alternator) and pipe work.

I will post some pics on the car care section if the work pc permits me to. lol

Monki.
