nigelcurry Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Hi all i am about to embark on the task of cleaning many years of caked on old grease and whatever else from around the back of the wheels and suspension bits on the car ,I plan on jacking up one wheel at a time and doing this by hand.I was wondering if any of you guys had come across any miracle stuff to apply to help me with this mucky and laborious task.My thoughts are to apply something with a paint brush and keeping my Drive as clean as I can by catching it in a bowl,and carefully scraping away,any ideas or previously gained knowledge would be most welcome stay safe everyone nige Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 A pressure hose will break off most encrusted muck, and leave it in lumps that may be swept up afterwards. Any solvent is likely to lead to a mucky scum on the ground, more difficult to clean away. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Price Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 White spirit an old washing up bowl, paint brush and a jumbo roll of paper towl & rags will remove the grease etc. I cleaned of the old waxoyle from my last TR as it had gathered dirt over the years, worked very well.

Adrian Steele Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 For general degreasing try Screwfix NONSENSE HEAVY DUTY DEGREASER which come in a 5ltr container. Can be diluted or used neat; spray or brush on then hose/pressure wash off. It works really well and reminds me of the stuff we used to clean the oily crud off aircraft with.
