degreasing plastic
Morning all
Quick question, I have some 2nd hand plastic vents for the top of the bonnet for after SVA.
At the moment they're a bit oily and could do with a degrease before spraying. What would be the best thing to use that won't harm the
plastic or leave any residue but get's it nice and clean.
I was thinking of washing up liquid but thought I'd check if anything was better first.
Thanks
Nigel

Most plastic is fine in the top of the dishwasher.

I'd use Isopropyl alcohol but that's mainly because I have a can and I'm certain it wouldn't damage plastic.
Brake cleaner might work, but test a non visible area first just in case.

Washing up liquid should be fine.
To make sure you could always follow that with white vinegar and water solution. Excellent for degreasing.

Thinners on a rag, if it's a car part it should wipe over with no problem.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'd be wary of using things like carb cleaner / brake cleaner (having watched the plastic tray I filled with carb cleaner to rinse things in
melt and collapse!!)....
If it's for cosmetic appearance a soak in some fairy liquid and a scrub should suffice....
