I Want To Remove A Stain

[mickey_gee]

When my car was in at the local Ford garage for a service, somebody sprayed radiator coolant all over the motor. I didnt notice this till a fair while later and now there is a hazy yellowy whity film all over the black plastics under the bonnet. Ive tried washing with soapy water and a scrubbing brush but its hard to remove as the surfaces are rough.

How do I clean this plastic? Is there anything I can put on them like armour all to blacken them up again?

The plastics are the tapper cover and the hard plastic air pipe

Bit of degresser will fix that, spray on and wipe off with a cloth, will bring all your under bonnet plastics up like new.

any degreaser?

Not sure about this but was told you can use prepsol to clean polish etc of the plastic but don't get it on the paint.

use a sheet next time! lol yea any degreaser will work, just spray it on and leave for a coupla minutes, if its still there, try scrubbing it off again. then rinse down, and it you want it to be really shiny, spray some tyre shine on it. note do not put alot of tyre shine as it can stuff up the plastic. just 1 spray

I find 303 Aerospace protectant nicer than tyre shine on black plastic....really looks the good and stays looking good for a couple of weeks.

Try some Sugar Soap, 1/3 mixed with water.

Use a spray bottle.

All the suggestions should work, but if it does not, get some Simple Green from Bunnings.

It will get off a blanket.

I used it to clean an engine bay from a 15yo car and it made it look like the day it rolled off the production line.

It is some type of Enzyme tree hugger stuff that workes better than any degreaser I have ever tried.
