Cleaning/Maintaining (Arches/Suspension)

[Mesa]

Hey guys,

About to take my wheels off and give them a much needed clean and seal.

Apart from the wheels I'm going to clean as much in the arch as I can. The coilovers are pretty dirty and I was wondering the best way to clean them and if anything is needed to put/spray on them after.

I was thinking a light pressure wash and brush with some APC, rinse off. But do I have to be careful of spraying them. And should I NOT put any kind of grease on as this will just be a magnet for gunk and dirt making it worse?

Thanks,
Rob

I pressure wash mine lightly as said, and then scrub around some Autoglym machine cleaner, comes up nice.

Copper grease on the threads of the coilovers is a good idea but cover the exposed thread with some gaffa tape to prevent dirt sticking to the grease.
