Cleaning under bonnet

Post by BrianBZ1 »

Could anybody tell me the best way to clean under the bonnet.
The yellowy wax on the rocker is one thing Id like to remove and on the hoses too.
Have tried jizer but didnt work.

Try using oven cleaner....you can spray it into a container, then brush it onto the parts you want cleaning vs simply spraying it all over the place... It works really well on the rocker cover. Try to use stuff which has "NO CAUSTIC" in it... :wink:

That stuff is caked on, almost impossible to remove, you need TFR, elbow grease, time, patience and this thing, a Steamer (or something like it, but better).

Its Wax, needs to be heated without damaging the material underneath.
