Washer reservoir cleaning products??

[Davies31]

Can anyone recommend the best possible product/additive for cleaning the inside of the reservoir, and outside whilst were on the subject?

I want to get them looking as clean as possible, as near new looking as you can get by cleaning alone really.

Cheers chaps.

Bath and bleach for a few days changing the water for hot and scrubbing it each time. Although The brake cleaner idea also sounds good.

The wife's away next week so the dishwasher idea gets a go to launch!!

The dishwasher in my workshop is now know as the 'parts washer'.
FYI don't put fairy liquid in the 'parts washer'

not tried a dishwasher but have used degreaser /brake cleaner on the outside and thick bleach on the inside...with a long brush on a wire

sorry to drag up an old thread, but a trick i have used is bleachy water, with rice, and a lot of shaking. works wonders

Awesome.

Lol, live this!

If things don't fit in the 'parts washer' a dissolved dishwasher tablet is amazing at cleaning all sorts of stuff

After I washed my rocker covers it smelt a bit oily and my mates suggested this.

I soaked my expansion bottle in ammonia (1 litre of neat ammonia in a bucket of water). Came out pretty good.

Not that expensive as you think

I've bought the double and the single one for the M3, need to dig the receipts out.
