Hoses and rubber bits

[Ken Sington]

No, not Max Mosley's bedroom but my engine bay. Is it ok to use a biodegradable degreaser to clean these up, or am I going to end up with biodegraded hoses and coolant and oil all over the garage floor? If not, what else is recommended?

A citrus degreaser should be fine, if used diluted. Always rinse after, too. These will be better than using the harsh solvent type products.

In lieu of citrus-based ones, Bilt Hamber Surfex HD is ideal for such tasks.

What are you going to dress them with after the citrus wash?

Haven't got as far as thinking about that, so any recommendations appreciated.
