Whats the best way to clean up the bottles?

Post by Supercharged Nat »

the bottles in the engine bay- expansion and washer, how do i get them looking new?- people say the dish washer but im not convinced.

mine are pretty bad, i did clean them by hand once but didnt look too good.

any thoughts?Image

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Fill it with a load of grit. The kind you buy for fish tanks. And and soap. And shake the bejesus out of it.Image

you can use bleach apparently. That's what a guy in retro ford used anyway. Don't hold me liable if they dissolve though!
