I'm looking to give the old girl a bit of a refresh mainly on the bulkhead, what is the best stuff to get rid of the general grunge and oil mist so I can repaint it? It will only be a brush paint job, nothing spectacular needed as it will have sound deadening on it anyway.

Cheers

I use brake and clutch cleaner for just about everything. Not the aerosols but a five litre container off eBay for about £15 and a pump up spray bottle.

For the money I think the Screwfix stuff is very good https://www.screwfix...ZxoCXNYQAvD_BwE

same here but note the really cheap pump'n'spray bottles seem to have melty seals when using brake cleaner, we had a couple fail on us before changing brand and ok since.  wish I could tell you what brand but there's nothing written on it

 

maybe just don't get a really cheap one

Try the Wurth branded pump bottle.

That's the one I have. It's gone up a bit since I bought it

Have found that Spray 9 works the best on grease. After Spray 9 I will finish cleaning with foam window cleaner. Unlike brake cleaner, the Spray 9 will stay on the panel and can be worked with a brass or nylon brush to get the tough spots clean.
