waxoyl removal

Post by jamesandtheopenroad »

Got the underside of the van cleaned and waxoyled a few weeks back. Open the engine lid for the first time today and they have blasted it all over the engine bay.

At least it won't rust.

Obviously this is gonna be an afternoons cleaning fun - joy - but I wondered what the best way was? Just a heavy duty engine degreaser?

Thanks peeps.

Yes, but it'll take a while to collect enough to clean an entire engine bay :wink:

Yeah, and I'd go blind so wouldn't know where I was cleaning.
