Plenum clean
« on: 25 July 2015, 17:11:09 »
What do you use to clean the outside of the plenum to get it looking nice  :-\ I cant seem to shift the dirt off it . Tried various cleaning stuff but it still leaves it looking grimy  :(

James used (I think) carb cleaner on mine after he cleaned my breathers - came up a treat!

I looked at Darth Loo-knee Plenum today and it was immaculate, he said he used a green scouring pad and the good old Jiff kitchen and sink cleaner or is it Siff now? Anyway his looked great and he swears it works a treat, I will be having a go at mine soon.

I am really glad you posted this thread. Like you, I have tried all the 'automotive' products, with no luck.
I think now I am going to see if there are shares available for Cif....as I think there will be one hell of a lot of immaculate looking plenums now ;D :y
