Spent one afternoon trying out all the cleaning chemicals in the kitchen and bathroom and Mr Clean scrubbing bubbles came out on top for me too.



I use Mr. Clean full strength, brushing it on with a paint brush, then rinsing off with water via a garden hose sprayer. Make sure to do this when the engine is cold, otherwise, if the engine is hot, i.e. after being driven, the sudden cold water could cause head warping or cracking.

I find the Mr. clean does a good job of eliminating any grease build-up as well.

The region here is very humid and dusty.. and this is the main cause of the black-plastic part of my 740 getting whitish-dusty.

I used, several times, a moist cloth to clean it in order to give it this shiny look.. but it soon gets this rubber bits on it after it dries off...

What can I use to give it a very shiny and clean look ? Is oil dangerous ?
