One of them has a clean engine bay the other has an engine bay :poke: :rofl:

You can get it cheaper, but not much in it by the time you add on postage;

What's the mix to water?

Depends on what you’re using it for as it’s an APC - all purpose cleaner.

For an engine bay, off the top off my head, somewhere between 1/20 & 1/10 - really depends on how much oil and grime has accumulated. Yours really wasn’t that bad, so I’d start out with 1/20 and see how you go.

Spray on with a trigger bottle, leave a few minutes, agitate with a detailing brush or something like a modestly firm paintbrush and wipe away the residue with microfibres. Once everything is dry use some of the stuff Ian was talking about on the plastics and hoses :thumbsup:

The engine and machine cleaner is a great product, it’s just really expensive for the quantity you get. The other product is also good. So, yes, they will do the job :thumbsup:

I’d suggest a hose with a ‘rain fall’ type option would be ok for rinsing if you’re careful, personally wouldn’t use a pressure washer under the bonnet… but many do.
 
On hols in France shame I missed this meet maybe next time
 
Having now discovered how to retrieve footage from my dash cams I can confirm that, yes, the rear camera does record with roof up (and down).

I’ve also got some nice footage of 5 zeds flying in formation from junction 18, but won’t post as the read out confirms velocity :driving: :police:
 
Sorry I missed this one, looked like a great morning out ! I couldn’t make it as my first grand child turned up 14 days late just before the date of the meet ! Here she is, Daisy …. Apple of my eye :-D
