Post Cleaning Tips


Does anyone have any tips for degreasing and degunging the tricky areas around the doors/hood/boot/engine bay on my '03 S2000? I normally use baby wipes (non-scented) to degrease the rubber seals before applying Shin Etsu grease - would it do any harm if I used them to clean the 'hard-to-get-to' places around the doors, etc??

Any help/advice much appreciated.

Thanks!

What chemicals are in the baby wipes?

A steam cleaner is usually pretty safe.
