cleaning oil off diff/axle/panels

[surrey7er]

Hi folks,

I have an oil splatter to clean off the seven, was wondering if anyone could recommend the right cleaning product.

The stuff has gotten over the axle, the inside of the wheel arch, even the rear of the car...

I'm thinking to raise the car up as far as poss and go to work with something suitable, just not sure what!

Many thanks,

Surrey7er

How about some autoglym engine cleaner and a paint brush. Apply, let it soak a little while dampen, apply abit more and use brush to loosen an remove oil. After that pressure hose the rest off.

Alternatively how about some motorbike chain degreaser/cleanser. A little goes a long way apply degreaser and wipe of then with hose rinse surface.

Hope it works.

Brake cleaner would shift it, but might eat you paint.

Petrol, just put some on a rag and away you go.

Petrol or white spirit, followed by a normal wash with soapy water to get any solvent residue off.
