BEWARE this is a very toxic product!! (but it works wonders)
For the grunge, Jizer from DEB. About £15 for 5L. Again excellent stuff.

Probably been asked before but here goes.
I have a pair of VERY grotty RV8 rocker covers so what is the best way to clean off the gunge and old paint.

Paint stripper for the paint and brake cleaner for the bear ali.
If you want to get it really shiny, you'll need a polishing mop and compound. Takes all the hard work out of the job.

I've been using Mr Muscle on my pistons and rods made a fantastic job cleaning them, Dont leave it on to long though.
I used this stuff to get the paint off the rockers. Some of the older paint takes a few goes but it comes up perfect.

nitromors, or find a local engine machine shop with a hotwash.
Just stuck my crank, covered in brown oil laquer which Jizer and a wire brush wouldn't touch, in the hotwash at work and it is now bare grey
forging all over, just superb!!
Cheers guys.
I got this from a thread on this site some time ago, just get a big pan and boil a heep of rubarb leaves (not stalks but leaves) and put your ali
parts in the pan along with them and boil them together for a while and roberts your mothers brother.
I did it and works a treat
Mike.
The rhubarb leaves contain lots of oxalic acid, so by boiling them up you are essentially making up your own personal (low-intensity!) hotwash.
Note that oxalic acid is slightly toxic. Although its going to be a pretty low concentration, gloves might be a wise idea, especially if you're
doing it often ...
Interestingly, did you know that rhubarb can also be used as the basis for an insecticide, and hair dye too?
