engine bay painting ?
hi i was wandering if anyone had used anything in particular to remove the original wax oil around the engine bay or would it be best to just paint over it :roll: cheers

I'm about to go for the steam clean method. I found somewhere that does the engine and bay for 15quid, however i'm paranoid stuff will get wet and i'll be stranded in Peckham.
Should I buy lots of baggies to seal stuff up in and what precautionary measures should I take so I can get her started again?

if you cover everything in plastic bags you'll end up with a shrink wrapped engine which im sure you'll agree is alot worse than a wet one!!
