Its not terrible under there, just a few spots I would like to get shiney! use Jizer for underbonnet degreasing followed by a weak solution of TFR ,then pressure wash off...for a gleaming engine compartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscar Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Jizer?? Never heard of it? Can you get it from Halfords then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Jizer?? Never heard of it? Can you get it from Halfords then? Yes I think I've seen it in Halfords but any heavy duty degreaser will do like "Gunk" etc.. by the way TFR stands for traffic film remover, this is good stuff but requires only a very weak solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 i use autoglym engine and machine cleaner on mine but I'm always too scared to hose the engine - can you really just put the hose pipe on it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 i use autoglym engine and machine cleaner on mine but I'm always too scared to hose the engine - can you really just put the hose pipe on it then? I have pressure washed lots of my past car engines off with no problem. Not done the zed though as its not dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeeman Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 i use autoglym engine and machine cleaner on mine but I'm always too scared to hose the engine - can you really just put the hose pipe on it then? Nixy, I've always pressure washed my car engines with the engine running. Never had any starting problems or any ther problems. I've done this on two Imprezas and my previous Zed. Works a treat! toffeeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 call me silly but no way I'm going to pressure wash the Z tbh, unless I start wrapping all those electrical connectors into something! there's really quite a few plugs that I just can see getting damp from water ... MAF sensor plug, Throttle body plug, radiator fan plug and to on and so forth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
