Hi
My rear diff is off the car. Any ideas what I should use to clean the casting as I'd like to bring it up to bufty standard if possible.

Any guidance from cleaning to painting would be appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

 

took mine down the local jet wash with a bottle of degreasent came up a treat, i didnt paint it though wish i had, most people just use some silver hamerite or equalivent

 

i used that '5 wheels steel' paint u can buy everywhere and lacquer. came up a treat, and i painted the little oil plug black and put new zinc plated bolts in the diffplate. It still looks pretty fresh today aswel 10,000 miles later. just gotta lean under the car whenever i clean it an jet wash the underside too

 

ideal thanks for the replies, got a good jet washer so will get some degreaser and give it a go
cheers
