Cleaning up the 11s

[Blackal]

good old white spirits good . very overlooked as a cleaner , its ace at tar spots , then soapy water with a shot of meths and a dash of vinegar ,,, but its the elbow grease that makes the difference.

To be honest - it is much overlooked as a cocktail mixer, also

Truck Wash- I buy it in 25ltr containers lasts about 2yrs! - gets grease off easy using paint & toothbrush then hose or watering can to rinse off

I bought a can of Swarfega Jizer for that very purpose https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/059910035/

Had a quick go at the bottom of the engine before I put it on a jack and it did a good job but that's not the hardest thing in the world so I'll give it a proper test when I try the rest.

For bugs you will need something water soluable. Try Autoglym bug remover and a soft bristle brush.

Grease and grime - white spirits should do it, Bilthamber Surfex HD, GT85, WD40 cocktail etc.

The important bit is when you agitate it to use a soft bristle brush like horse hair or similar.

If it's been retouched with hammerite or something then your screwed, the paint is so soft it seems to absorb shite and you can't get it clean.

This stuff is magic:



It's expensive as well, but unlike many other degreasers is water soluble which means it just rinses off!

About ten times better than Autoglym's equivalent which I returned to Halfords after they recommended it as equivalent to Meguiars!
