Hmm food for thought.
It was the state of mine and seeing S2UK's engine on another post that prompted me

So that sorts how to clean it in the first place!

How about products I can use to get the AB/S2UK look after I have cleaned it?

That'll be elbow grease

Please don't use a pressure washer

My pressure washer is going nowhere near the S ever!

Any body used "gunk" is it too aggressive?

I guess any plastic detailer spray would be an improvement afterwards?

Mikey - if you use Zaino tyre gloss - that's what I use in the engine bay - lasts for ages and give it a nice satin finish.

ADE - If I do that I will end up like Amuse Boy and Rahula - with a detailing fetish

I'm sure that is a medical condition

No chance you could get the list for Thursdays meet? Would be interested in the glass cleaner and the engine bay cleaner.


I've spilt some oil over the Engine Block, As I don't have any engine cleaner at the moment, whats the next best thing?



'Use a funnel in the first place' is NOT the answer I'm looking for

Neat Fairy liquid or washing detergent followed plenty of water!
