Gents,
I've got me a Supra turbo box that needs a good clean. Any ideas? Covered in road sh*te. It's got lots of casting ribs so doing it by hand would be a looong job...
I'm thinking degrease, blast with solvent with an air gun, attack with rotary nylon bristle in a drill?

oven cleaner/fairy power spray then pressure wash and nylon brush. See my site for what it does for a Rover engine.

Lovely, ta, didn't that come out nice? Seems to work better on ally maybe, I used the foam on a Chevy and it wasn't so hot.
The gel stuff is fierce, ammonia based I think. Removed paint that Nitromors wouldn't touch (I know thats not the best stripper but hey).
The bellhousings prob OK to fit in the dishwasher so thats an easy job...

Local rag mate, got the clutch, cyl, pedals, prop, shifter etc too. There's another one in the paper too. It'll be Cambs, Norfolk, Suffolk though.
