The Toffinator Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Probably best when your cleaning/polishing the car do under the bonnet. sponge it down and if that doesnt work then use a cleaner or just polish it back again Quote
iamlegend Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 my mate used baby wipes and funny enough it worked a treat ( underside of the bonnet only) Quote
ep_brad Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 i just posted on ss the best stuff ive used is traffic film remover. Quote
neilsmith Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I used alloy wheel cleaner, just sprayed it everywhere then went over it with a sponge and hot soapy water then rinsed it all down and dryed it up with an old towel.It worked great, took all the oil off and rust!! It looks great now. That was just last weekend. Quote
Blitz Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 TFR ...sigh....its just paint i use quick detailer and blue be gone Quote
Raz Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 "Heavy Duty Cleaner" It is the best cleaning agent i have came across. Its not for cars but i used it and it was awesome. If this doesn't take it off, that means u have to use elbow grease.Only problem is its hard to come by in normal shops unless you guys know someone.Its exactly this bottle Quote

ryan33hks Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I used G101, scrubbed it, then jetwashed it all. Be warned if you jetwash it you'll probably get water in the plugs and dizzy. Just like i did lol Quote
Raz Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 LOL, WTF happened to that filter mate lol. Looks like the filters been in a crash. Quote
