I'm starting to clean under the arches, I can get them relatively clean but there's some really caked on dirt, I was just wondering if there is a product that anyone recommends? Also, want to clean under the bonnet and get it upto scratch. Any help, greatly appreciated! -------------

Alun, I use gunk , for both under the bonnet and the arches, worked in the more ingrained areas with a selection of brushes , works a treat everytime.

From Petes link, it was suggested that engine degreaser is used. I had a bottle of Autoglym stuff that I had never used under the bonnet but it worked a treat under the arches though. Wet arches. Spray on, leave for 5 mins then scrub with a brush and then rinse, really brought the black plastic up. I took the wheels off and I power washed the arches before putting the spray stuff on. Didn't stay clean for long though. Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!
