Rocker Cover cleaning...

[EK Civic R]

I have the red rocker cover for my car...
It's got a lot of grease marks and stuff on it..

I've tested a few things, but the red paint also comes off as well...

Anyone know of any good products that can used to get rid of the grease without stripping away the the red???

Please help........

how bad is the paint.. cause if it is bad, strip the whole thing off using paint stripper (comes off easy as) and then take it in to get powder coated, here is one that I brought over from nz, stripped using the paint stripper and powdercoated... I chose this red just to be different but you can pretty much have any colour u want, weather just to customize or to keep it oem... cheers spardikis..

use engine degreaser

[stephen8512]

the best method i've found is hiring one of those steam machines and steaming the shit off
doesnt hurt the paint and it sanitizes :D

wipe clean with damp cloth, then use WD40 to wipe it again..

what is it exactly... degreaser. rocker cover cleaner... looking for somethign to remove dirt/grease and rejuvenate color...

WD40 is like a multipurpose lubricant/degreaser/'godsend'

Yes you can get it at kmart too, it's in blue can with yellow lid, it's like $3 a can cheap like a birdie

WD40 is it's own brand, but mechanics usually use CRC, same shit though

it will not take off any paint from rocker cover.. just basically clean it up.. make it look like new again?

[spardikis]

IF you have lost paint, re do it and powder coat it.. My one was coated twice in "candy Apple" and cost $70...

[yourfather]

WD-40 It's just a rust inhibitor and moisture remover, i dunno, it just does everything, and it's not corrosive..

WD-40 is the brand, you can get it from Coles, Bi-Lo, Kmart, Big W, Anywhere..

Spray some WD 40 on it and then use a steam jet.
worked fine for me.
