best polish/cleaning gear.....

[Chadster]

What is the best polish/ cleanging product to use on manifolds and the engine block to clean them up... also what grit sandpaper do you sand them down to when poilishing

I've got a tin of Gunk in the cupboard that works ok, i wasn't to keen on the spray bottle version Gunk Xtreme or something silly like that.

A home all-purpose cleaner at a strong concentration could work well also.

Agitate with a stiff brush and rinse off, repeat if necessary etc.

yea i was going to use a household cleaner and degreaser also

any advice about sanding down manifolds/carb etc for polishing

Again gunk is very good along side a pressure washer.

Are you cleaning the whole engine bay? The best stuff to use all over is TFR (Traffic film remover) You can either buy 5 litres or 25 litres that will dilute to 25 or 100 litres (it will last ages).
I use it on bodywork, wheels (its not aciddic so wont harm), door shuts, engines anything really. Just spray on using a 5 litres pump spray, leave to soak or brush in and rinse.
