if you want to polish your head, just do what homer did in the simpsons.

stick it in the ball-o-shine-o at your local bowling alley :lol:

failing that, i think there's some stuff you can get from motor shops called gunk(?) that does the job.

I posted some stuff about cleaning engines - think it was under steam cleaning - only a couple of weeks ago. Looking at thew amount of peeps posting in wrong forums at the mo it culd be anywhere!

:?

GUNK is good - hard work but good results. I sent some pics onto mike to add on the nova-land mods (not really a mod more a help) - just apply, scrub in then wash off (more to it than that, you need to protect electrics and jet washing wngine is prob better that chucking a bucket of water over it!)

See if Mike will fwd them onto you or better still wait till he uploads them
