autoglym engine cleaner

[clidge]

hi guys thinkin of getting some of this to clean up my engine bay cos of grease and marks etc etc how do you actually apliy the product so you just simply wash off? cheers

 

[kully]

you have to be careful of electrics , i'd use a brush to work into those stubborn areas too . in my experiences with this item i sprayed , brushed then clean off with damp rag ...rather than splashng water everywhere

cheers buddy does it make everything look nice and clean why stay away from electrics

i bought several brushes as you want longer brushes to get into those hard to reach areas .... tooth brush will do .... just take your time on the stubborn areas :approve: .

yes std paint brushes are fine ..... try and get ones with long handles though , more reach to areas etc ...... yep u got the idea , leave it on stubborn area and work it in with the brushes to get the grime up :approve:

Radiator brushes are ideal as they have a long reach handle on them. Put some insulation tape round the metal bit of the brush to stop any chance of it scratching.

Most Decorating/DIY places should have them. Just a paint brush with a long handle
