Cleaning the Sills ?
 

I've been wondering for ages how best to clean my Sills (the rough bit at the bottom).

They are Longbrodge ones (Body coloured) and the dirt doesnt want to shift.

ive seen plenty of other ZT's with pristine sills.

I've tried simply washing, scrubbing with a nail brush and even spraying on engine de-greaser and hitting it with the Karcher.

the nail brush and karcher approach removed the worst, but they still look very dark.

Any top tips ? :shrug:

Autogylm tar remover, rub it in with a nail brush again, let it soak in, wash it off, repeat until it looks cleanish then clay bar :)

Will give that a go this evening, I think ive still got half a bottle of AG Tar shifter. Ta :cool:

No worries, could always go down the solvent route if it fails ;) don't see how it would fail though :) let us know how you get on

I've got loads of brake and clutch cleaner at home, but i really dont like the idea of letting that soak on my paint :D

How about steam cleaning :shrug: just a thought...

You don't let that soak it should wipe off with a little encouragement, if you're brave enough :getmecoat:

I do have a small, mains steam cleaner. It does a good job of shifting grease in the engine bay, but just seemed to wet the sills :shrug:

You will still need to use tar remover or such a product to loosen the adhesion between the dirt and sill then you can steam them off! A lot of work but if you want it shiny it takes time unfortunately :(

I just attacked mine with a scrubbing brush, hot water and detergent. Worked well. :}
