    Cleaning a F28?

    i did a little search....but i couldn't find the answer i was looking for...


    I've got a F28, its greasy as hell....anyway, i've got the degreasing product sorted and a nice brush to work it in.... i'd just like to know the best way to wash it....

    Is it ok to pressure wash it? im afraid water might get into the box and bork it :/ i thought i might just plug a couple of cv joints in and it'll be ok...

    Or do i just rinse it off as best as i can with warm water or something?

    Cheers
