  • - Cleaning underside-products recommended?

    I wean to give the underside of my car a bit of a clean up as it's now up on stands with all 4 wheels off it.I don't want anything flash just something to use to take all the top layer of dirt/dust off.What gives the best result for just a general clean up under the car?I was thinking brake cleaner or gunk spray?Wd40?
    What would be best to use on the floor itself?
    Finally I want to clean the stainless exhaust up what can I use,the boxes are fine just something to clean the piping up.Emery cloth or wire wool..would this be to abrasive and scratch the pipe.,any alternatives?
    Any help would be great.

    Many thanks.Lee.

      If you can't use a steam cleaner a hard brush and petrol will work well

        i use tfr diluted correctly and work it in with a brush for a few mins and then blast it off with a hot jetwash,gets under bonnets etc like new that were previously black with oil and crap,i even use that on transit door cards and floors etc that are minging and it brings them back perfect.
        have just cleaned the stainles exhaust on my evo with g3 and a cloth,got it shiny again no probs

              Don't forget your marigolds either.

              Gotta glove up.
