Try G202, just be careful of the dilution ratio.

Gets on your lungs if into the wind lol

tell me more about this stuff :D

Has that prop cover just had a dip & a wipe or have you given it some machine action?

its a heavy duty apc from autosmart.

its not as heavy duty as G202 from Espuma.

you can use it as a degreaser but for that i would use bilt-hamber surfex which does a much better job.

however, surfex and g202 are mail order, g101 can be got from your local rep, saving about £4 in postage.

looking at the pic, thats more than a spray and wipe.

I can recommend bilt-hamber Sureflex, great degreaser, very strong but clean, bio-friendly stuff, always have some on the shelf..

That cover looks like it had a bit of a polish after the clean
