And so it begins...

dont know if it has been mentioned but a non caustic oven cleaner works wonders in the engine bay.

Hmmm, I wonder where I've heard that before...

If only I knew this one sooner - would've saved me a whole lot of time and mess

Did someone tell you this tip or did you discover it yourself?

There are non believers on this cleaning tip. Works fantastic on filthy engine bays but for some reason not so good to scrub out transmission bell housings (something to do with the type of oil maybe?) It's pretty good on wheels and tyres are well but you have to do one at a time and move quickly as the oven cleaner can dull some finishes. Use a paint brush to work it in so you don't scratch anything - spraying it on tyre walls and then scrubbing and pressure cleaning them gets all the road grime off. Applying tyre shine afterwards and rubbing it in by hand gets the car show look every time

Learned it in a motorcycle forum. Saw some horror stories where people used the heavy duty stuff on some aluminum parts and pitted them up or stripped the anodizing off.

I also use pin sol to soak my carbs and clean them out. It's pretty crazy some of the stuff we use every day that can destroy that kind of gunk.

And pledge works wonders on almost all interior . I like the orange kind cause I like the smell. If you ever get that weird grimy build up on your mouse wipe it down with pledge. O that same build up on your steering wheel and turn signal levers.
