MJP02 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Decided to put some elbow grease in the the car, think she turned out good. Also did first clean of engine bay, need to do 1 more then a little detailing 3
dgarside Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 My engine bay is shocking, so won't have bonnet open at York. What/How did you detail the engine bay? Bit by bit or degreaser and jet wash ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1
MJP02 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 just used gunk in a sprayer, covered it all, waited 10 mins and used a brush on heavy stuff. rinsed it off with a hose on low power so i didnt force water anywhere 1
dgarside Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks, will try exactly the same as soon as I get chance.... I already have a spray gunk degreaser. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I use Machine Marts Traffic Film remover.. spray on and then use a detailing brush to agitate it, snow foam it all.. then jet wash off. https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/traffic-detergent-5l-concentrate/ Dry off and then use some autoglym Vinyl & Rubber cleaner and a soft micro fibre towel. You can use wd40 or silicone spray if you want too.
dgarside Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Did you protect any of the electrics before her washing? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk

dgarside Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Yep, think I'll protect some things and keep water pressure real low :-) Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
