The Toffinator Posted April 3, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 my mate used baby wipes and funny enough it worked a treat ( underside of the bonnet only) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neilsmith Posted April 3, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Posted April 3, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
