Nicole was a naughty girl last night and decided to destroy my swirl pot and spray engine oil over my nice shiny red silicone hoses:dearme:

Gunna give the bay a proper clean now :cooter:

Just discovered the oil is a barstool to get off so can i use any old de-greaser, what does everyone else use.

Girlfriend suggested lemon juice or vinegar :laugh:

what shouldnt i use??? ie, Mr Muscle :cool:

Baby wipes. I've been told by Mark Hale of Samco that WD40 over time will **** the hoses.
