LHD lets say the message sender has a vested interest in A/C washing and did the correct thing by not flaunting such a service. Flightline Thanks again for the info.
Essentially, use a product that does not contain Silicone or salt. Generally salt is contained within squeezy liquid and I would think that a car shampoo such as Zip wax would contain silicone as the waxing agent!
Cover up components that you feel may be a risk from water ingestion, so make sure the air/heating vents are closed, fuel caps are on tight, static vent and pitot head is cover (a coloured tape that contrasts with the A/C colour). Would be worth while checking the dip stick is nice and tight too. Minimise risks, itll only hit you in the pocket otherwise.
A rinse down, some degreaser to the underside, sponge wash using say Autoglym or Mer and then rinse off. Probably best to wash in sections, rather than going around the entire a/c then rinsing off. Dry with a chamois and then clean the windows, with Plexus which seems to be the best.
If polishing, make sure the static vent is cover most important I would have thought!
Any thoughts on tyre dressing, just to finish it off!!
Just like washing my bike really, take time and care.
Ozplane good shout Ill ask the pretty ladies at the club house to fill the kettle for me!!
Cheers for now.
