November 20th, 2009 07:14 AM #1My stock airbox, I think, is made of plastic ... at medyo hindi na siya maganda tignan coz of the dust residues.
Although engine washes sa detailing shops would work, I don't want my engine getting wet every now and then.
So is it safe to use a tire black polish to shine the airbox and its rubber intake tube?
[SIZE=1](I heard petrol-based wd40s and the like won't do any good as it "eats" or degrades rubber and plastic in the long run...)[/SIZE]
Also, safe din ba ang tire black to clean the radiator and aircon hoses and other plastic and rubber parts in the hood, say the fan assemblies?
Thanks in advance for your replies...

I used Armor All for my tires sidewalls and all plastic Rubber hose to look nice and clean and safer.

not sure, pero for me a big . yung composition ng tire black is like grease or oil. not good for hot surfaces lalo na near engine or radiator pa. pero it's just me. haven't tried it pero malamang not going to do it.

November 20th, 2009 03:35 PM #6Thanks po sa replies.
Naku medyo nalito ako, Armor All or tire black?
For airbox and aircon/rad hoses, the tire black and Armor-All are safe?
(Dun lang po ko medyo cautious kasi engine bay eh and high temp lagi, but for weatherstrips and fiberglass black chin I polish them with tire black...)
Thanks

November 22nd, 2009 06:36 AM #10Yup armor all for me as well, some if not most tire blacks also make the rubber go brittle, so definitely armor all for me
