Cragus Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 ...and the other under bonnet cleaning gurus do it! I spent a little time trying to clean under the bonnet today and while its a little cleaner, its no way near way I would like to be? I need to finish putting in the red bolts but it starting raining and I was missing a 9mm socket. Also need to tidy up the plastic at the front . Here's how far I have managed to get so far... Quote
clarkie34 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Try some Aerospace 101 for your plastics. Quote
martinmac Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Its all about knowing the right products IMO. Quote
cmck13 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Trust me your bay looks quite good. A lot worse than that out there. Quote
AK350Z Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Looking good so far mate. Better than mine anyway! Quote

s14akw Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 frig me sideways did you do the bolts yourself lol, surely not that would mean goin and buyin actual man tools lol Quote

shire350Z Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Like Martin said it's just using the right products and spending alot off time in here, looks like it's coming along nicely Quote
Cragus Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Haha Chris - I was thinking carbon slam panel but might be tempted into one of these. Bottles are from Sarah mate, but brace yourself - they ain't cheap Yes Alan, man tools aplenty today! Thanks guys, some of the grime doesn't show up in iphone pics so its still nowhere near where I want it. I'll spend another couple of weekends at it and see where I get. Unless Clarkie and Shire fancy a working holiday up here! Quote
s14akw Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 did u get the mrs to break the stress on all the nuts for you lol, haha i might buy you a tool box now at the rate your going lol Quote
clarkie34 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Do you still have the transport wax in there,usually an off White colour? I found Tardis is very good at shifting this. Quote
Cragus Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 did u get the mrs to break the stress on all the nuts for you lol, haha i might buy you a tool box now at the rate your going lol No mate, I got your missus to break the stress on my nuts. BOOM! I am not sure clarkie - today i scrubbed it all with a brush with a simple water rinse. Then i dried it off and sprayed a layer of gunk. Scrubbed this in the rinsed this. Thats pretty much all so far. I will invest in some more products this week then. Quote
clarkie34 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I've just bought this although I have not tried it yet. http://www.mr-fastner.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MRF9PPK Also a dremmel is a very handy tool to have. Quote
