outside cleaning my mate used to just cover in "gunk" made by jizer and scrub it with cheap kitchen brushes and a toothbrush in the small aeras then jet wash it off(after blocking up all holes) internal he only ever cleaned the old bits giong back in.

I would like to know also. Mine isnt so bare though. I can cover the header and pipes etc, Alt, and pumps are off.

Im thinking Bilt hamber surfex HD neat with a pressure washer and then a good scrub after.
