    Cleaning!

    ian010778 posted a topic in Misc/General Technical

    Hi all, Looking for some advice on cleaning the various s*it-up components currently festooning my garage please. 1. Can I pressure wash the gearbox? I have no intention of opening it and it is currently separated from the engine. Can I just temporarily mount it on a stand, spray a load of degreaser on it and go at it with the jetwash and a stiff brush? I am planning on painting it so I want to get into all the nooks and crannies but not sure if blasting it with water will do the internals any good if said water can ingress? 2. What cleaner(s) does everyone use please? A quick search has revealed loads, including one company selling three different products that all claim to be the best on oil, dirt and grime . I really want to buy a concentred product so I can dilute it in a tub of water for long term soaking of things like hubs and callipers but one that I can also use neat (in a sprayer) on really bad stuff like the engine block and gearbox casing. Any recommendations welcome please. Ian.
