Engine Bay Clean!

[Claws]

Hi Guys

If the weather is kind to me this weekend I was thinking, of spending an hour or two cleaning up the engine bay. I am interested to know what you guys use for the plastic bits? ‘Back to black’? something else? and also i was wondering if there is any product out there for the Alloy manifold? I think that would look particularly good if spruced up.

As always any suggestions greatly received
 

Cheers

Hi Steve,

 

In the past I have found that tyre wall cleaner is good on the plastic parts, and for the other parts I have used ordinary multi surface kitchen clean which used sparingly on a sponge will cut through the grease.   Heavy grease and oily bits either Gunk or Jizer.

 

For the black plastic bits on the exterior trim I use black boot polish.

 

Peter.
