Under—bonnet cleanser
Al under-bonnet cleanser which not only removes grease and dirt but also "puts a sparkle" on the components is Tak-Clens Glow. Two operations are necessary to 'complete the process: the engine is sprayed with the cleanser to loosen the grease and dirt, and after a few minutes this can be removed with a cold water spray. Next thing to do is thoroughly dry all parts before spraying Tak-Clens under-bonnet Sparkle which puts a protective coating of wax over all electrical equipment and leaves the engine gleaming "like new".
