WoREoD Posted March 19, 2006 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

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
WoREoD Posted March 19, 2006 Author 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
