when my car is done i'd like to spruce up the engine bay (few shiney's going in!!) but the engine bay is absolutley skank!!!

it is a white car and all the underbonnet is a brown/beige colour so i'm fully expecting to have to t-cut the paint, is using snow foam a bad idea in there??? which degreasers are best to use???

any help greatfully recieved

 

Put the T Cut on hold. Is the brown residue from a burst pipe? Try a degreaser Gunk or similar together with a selection of brushes.Prior to applying degreaser. Cover your alternator and alarm. Spray liberally Rinse with a low pressure hose. Repeat as necessary. Then apply finishing product such as Autoglym rubber care

 

nah, no burst pipes, jus 13 years of constant grime and crap!!!

shall give it a go though............

 

Beefy, I found the Autoglym engine degreaser to be brilliant when I first attempted to clean my now sold Scoobs engine bay. From Halfords at about £6.99. did the trick for me and works on all sorts of other bits too

Or, you could ring up Polished Bliss and ask for a little advice from them. Very helpful when I've rang up.

 

cheers c.o.b

am a week or two until i get it back anyway, lots to do!!

 

Dunno if this helps...

should have done it while the engine was out really, but work has kept me away from it, couldn't really ask my mate to do it as he's doing the engine as a favour.......

I'd suggest stepping up to Meguiars Super Degreaser cut 4:1 (instead of the R222 TAW shown in the guide) to tackle really stubborn grime, followed by 303 Aerospace to reprotect all surfaces afterwards.

 

top man!!

thank you
