VR6Nat 9 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 i use baby wipes to get any dust and dirt off all the pipes, then wipe over with Auto Glym Vinyl and Rubber care on anything plastic or rubber, that brings it all up nice... for any shiney metal use Autosol metal polish, that works a treat... for any bodywork, wash down (just use a baby wipe) then dry and polish.... If it is really bad in there you can use an engine cleaner, think i used an Auto glym one before, might be engine and machine clean... but once it was done once baby wipes are enough to get the dirt off without being too damaging to parts.
