Try G202, just be careful of the dilution ratio.
Gets on your lungs if into the wind lol

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

All i did was work in in with a paint brush and then used my pressure washer on it. I've got an attachment thats used to clean stone worked a treat on this
