There is actually nothing wrong with my alternator but as I'm cleaning, painting and polishing my engine bay I don't want to put a dirty alternator back especially as it's so hard to get to under the fuel rail.

Give it a good de-grease with wd-40 wont do any harm to electrics. A good prep and mask it all off, "It takes ages" , then give it a spray in hamirite or the likes will look nice and fresh and nice and cheap too, just takes your time really.

Will be doing mine too while i have it off.
