 Aluminium cleaning I came across a post where someone is restoring an older type 2cv but can’t locate it again. There was a link to the snail forum with many good photos of almost everything. I noticed how clean the gear box was (425 box) and want to ask, how the person can achieve such a wonderful result. Can anyone help please?
Cheers
Viking

Re: Aluminium cleaning Shove it in the dishwasher. Seriously.
Health and Safety note :- It may, however, be a good idea to make sure she's not home first...

Re: Aluminium cleaning Not in my experience. It cleans stuff, so it cleans itself.

Re: Aluminium cleaning 2cvnutter wrote: Sounds funny but i bet it don't half mess it up The 'box or the dishy? The 'box will be fine - you wouldn't think twice about shoving ally pans in there. The dishy, otoh... It might be worth shoving it on a second, empty, cycle before she gets home. Or, seriously, seeing if you can find an old but working one on freecycle, or chat to local kitchen fitters. If you've got water and drain to the workshop, and the space...

That's a really good idea, shame my garage has not got electric or water
