Wouldnt be that much i.e less than $20 for the blow can by itself I would say

The full 5 piece kit itself is a give away at the moment (Total Value $59.99) when you buy one of their compressors, found it on the first page Here

often I use afew stiff scrubbing brushes (one pot n pan one and another general flat scrubbing brush). Run hot as water into a bucket and mix 2 scoops of laundry powder and about the same of sunlight (both stollen from inside the house). use a screwdriver to scrape off any thick layers of crap then scrubb away. On really bad blocks, I do it twice. End up with something you could eat off (if one desired) which is ready to paint once dry. Only takes an hour at best and costs very little.


thats not a bad cheap effective method, will have to remember that when I dont have access to a workshop

we have a steam cleaner at work and a drain for all our dirty water to go into, possibly rock up to ur fav workshop and ask to use the steamcleaner, we only change 5 bucks to any one that wants to use it so its not a bad idea

I use an industrial strength concentrated floor cleaner called Super-Rip.
This is available through Pacer. Spray it on with a spray bottle, then wave a steam cleaner or waterblaster at it. The underside and enginebay of my KP60 was f*&king filthy, now you could eat your breakfast off it ( if you felt the need to ).
Its biodegradable and doesnt make a mess everywhere like kero or diesel
If it doesn't fit, force it.
If it breaks it needed replacing anyway!
