Simple green concentrated, no water...Let it sit for about 1 hour. Run a plastic brissile brush after application then let it sit. Power wash the bay and it will look brand new!

You can get it at any auto supply store, they should carry it, I just try to keep up with the dust every time I go and get gas, I'll take a rag or wet rag and go over the dirty spots, its a lot easier then letting it build up all the time......

EVERYTHING you will need, if you're serious about cleaning it up, and making it purty!

You could also try CD2. That's what I use. It comes in two aerosol cans. The first is a cleaner/degreaser and the second is just to make it shine like new!

Never had any problems with simple green..If you are worried, just do a 50/50 mix. Where do you find that CD-2 stuff? Everyone one says its great!!!

BigBos...You clean the engine bay everytime you get gas? WOW..I might have to try that..Our fans seem to kick up a lot of stuff off the road!
