WD40....try it...amazing as a cleaner but use it sparingly and not on a hot engine. Otherwise elbow grease and patience and auto glym. MGZTV8 Agreed Valuation Insurance June 2011 004.jpg

ZTV8 gone...Lotus gone....RV8 now lives happily in garage with Matra Bagheera and Aston Martin DB7
get a pump up garden sprayers, they have enough pressure to get most stuff off, plus brush the cleaner into the bad areas spray off with engine running, aviod spraying the belt as you will get a face full. and all good a clean and the heat dries it, apply silicon spray or engine dressing to the plastic and good as new.

Good thing with the TVR you can't see much of the engine.
My ZT before going back to standard. Believe the engine bays stay pretty clean because of the undertray.

Yeah a keeper, had it on the rollers the other week and made 370bhp but its really over fueling at the minute so needs a remap, and the rolling road event killed one of the lambda sensors so just waiting on that to come then change that over and reset the engine idle as its been a bit erratic, but nothing too hard about setting it all up and matching the banks up with a air flow syncrometer.
All the information i gained as a ZT owner now, having to learn from scratch all about the tvr.

I'm impatient too. I get a very good finish with AMBERSIL degreaser. Or use the foaming tire cleaner on the black bits. Comes up very well and only takes 10 mins.
