Has anyone got any ideas on brush on, wash off solutions to cleaning chequer
plate in situ? I don't really want the hassle of drilling out the pop
rivets to drop it in a bath.
Cheers, John

I use alloy motorbike parts cleaner for my plate! It works a treat & you can get it at any motorbike
shop.

It does. My mate did half of one of my chequer plate wing tops once
when he was bored and it blinded me for months whenever the sun came
out!. Fortunately i have now restored the protective mould/dirt layer
and my eyes are safe!

If you dont fancy polishing then a pressure washer works pretty well.
You dont have to worry about it taking off the paint so can blast it
at full strength.
