Recommend an underbody cleaner

[marcus1875]

Hi guys
While the wedge is up on stands i thought i'd clean up the underside.
Used a wire brush and gunk today but it didnt really come up as well as i'd like.
What can you recommend to clean of the dirt, oil and other various crud.
Cheers
Marcus

A steam cleaner would probably be a better option...The best stuff would be brake and clutch cleaner but its expensive unless you buy it by the litre..Its also best in a spray container and loads of clean rags...Avoid getting it onto any rubber or plastic components though...

I use paraffin, applied with a brush or rag.

What are you trying to remove?

oily grease and mess or general road dirt, salt corrosion, rust etc?

I've used the "green" oven cleaner stuff......spray on.....leave.......jet wash off

Works a treat :-)

Don't use the normal oven cleaner as it will eat the alloy / aluminium

I recommend the Zigmeister - he's good at cleaning! ;^)

Normally yes...But this is what happened when i wiped the bathroom sink over with a sponge earlier...Mind you it was fitted by the same plumber who bodged the pipes previously...I knew it wouldn't hold especially as the painter removed the pedestal from under it earlier...It was siliconed on the wall as the screw holes he drilled were the size of 2p's..Bloody shyte..

I find the best invention for cleaning almost everything, with nothing so far found it damages is panel wipe, 18.99 for 5 liters from your local paint factors. I have it in a little spay bottle, spray on and wipe off with a rag.

On the subject of rags, B&Q have rolls of Scott paper towel, blue, its brilliant stuff. Almost as strong as a cloth rag, pretty much lint free, absorbent, great. http://www.diy.com/departments/scott-paper-towel-p...
