Any tips/advice for cleaning the exterior of a transmission?
I scraped and got most of the obvious road dirt off it last night, but I'd love to paint this one after it gets back from Doc. Evil's GearBox Summer camp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/351.gif) I am afraid to use a pressure washer for fear of water ingress, and obviously, the least amount of chemicals the better. Thanks |
