I've always used gunk which usually gets everything off with a good jet wash! I believe you can buy proper engine paint from minispares which I've heard good stuff about but they only do yellow and green :( They don't die, they just get faster! |

I've used petrol and diesel to good effect for getting the crap off an engine, and a jetwash. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Skip the petrol an diesel! Just smells and didn't really do a great deal. With the gunk spray it on and give it a wire brush then leave it for a bit before jetwashing it then if there's anything really stubborn give it a second load On 16th Sep, 2014 wayne miller said:
