Luverly Lesley · Mar 3rd, 2008, 10:24 AM

here mckelvey... since you love cleaning cars so much...

are you sure you don't have OCD?

Darthbladerni · Mar 3rd, 2008, 11:16 AM

Infact mark, you said to me that you turned the hose onto your engine bay.

Please explain what you used and how you actually did it because mine is getting rather dirty and I want to clean it so that I can keep it clean easier.

I dont want to mess anything up

David King · Mar 3rd, 2008, 11:57 AM

Wanna do mine? Ill give you £10 petrol money

Basically just spray a load of degreaser on, let it soak in for a bit, an old paint brush for stubborn bits then let it have it
