What the best (easiest) way to clean the chassis.
Can it be pressure washed or is it a case of getting it jacked up and sandpaper and elbow grease?
It just needs a clean before Waxoyling.

Cheers

Depends what's it's like?

Greasy - use Jizer

Rusty - 3m Clean and strip disc

White spirit will shift all the oil and grease no problem, also any existing wax oil. The rust depends on how far you want to go, I went the whole way on mine but it wont have to be done again thank god!

If its rust/bubbly paint a paint scraper works well in the less accessible bits. I'm also using 3m disk/wire brush drill attachment for other areas.

White spirit seems to be good for non rust bits.

good luck, I'm finding its an orrible job!
