WoREoD Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Washed my Z today, cleaned the alloys and the tail pipes! Looked under the bonnet and, horror of horrors, its getting dirty! Whats the current way of cleaning the enginer bay? (When I were a lad it were steam-cleaning - do we use pressure washers now, and where should we avoid??) TIA, JohnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA, JohnK get some traffic film remover (TRF ) from a car valet supplier and make a weak solution spray it all over the engine a blast it off with a pressure cleaner , will come up like a new pin, try and avoid electrical connections etc., and if you have an aftermarket air filter cover it with a plastic bag.. results here http://photobucket.com/albums/y119/lomo ... 010007.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoREoD Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thanks for that. Re the pic: But I want mine to come up Yellow not Sunset! (Sorry couldn't resist....) Like the full set of pics though. Obviously a well-loved example. Cheers! JOhnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
