Hmm engine bay cleaner.. Im guessing halfords for this? Or anywhere else got some cheapear stuff as they just seem to be over priced for everything!

 

[graham_172]

halfrauds or your local garage.

Soap and water if you dont want to spend anything

 

[dale172]

elbow grease is needed, or if you want to be posh take to a metal finsiher like a few of the lads have

I just spent the day with soapy water, gunk for the stubbon bits, back to black, autosol and a dremel drill.

Good as new... well better as the metal was polished.
