bought some goodies - many thanks for the fantastic gear and advice.
Just got round to trying some today. Cleaned my engine. Next it's the polish and wax !!!!!

 

That looks amazing, well done,can i ask what products you bought to make it look like that,mines needs a good clean, good work

 

Yep - Meguiars degreaser and 303 aerospace protectant to finish it off. Great products and only approx 30 mins work.

 

thought that was wat you used.what did you used to get stubborn bits of the manifold,did you use a piece of steel wool with the degreaser.

 

I just used my wheel cleaning brush. When I'd rinsed and dryed it any stubborn bits were dealt with using a piece of rag and a squirt of tar and glue remover.

 

Our pleasure, and awesome results - great work!

 

That is very impressive for 30 minutes work.

I happen to have some Autosmart Tardis and P21S stuff I've just used on the rest of the car - can anyone, Rich or other, tell me if I can just liberally spray either of these around the engine bay then rinse off after a minute ??
Then maybe used Prime Strong on anything shiny afterwards ????

Or is it better to use these other products ??

Martin.

 

as with any type of cleaning it's all about attention to detail.......

 

P21S and Prime Strong are both good products for engine bays; to see how to use the P21S safely, see this guide...
