Can I hose out my interior?
bus356 - May 20th, 2004 at 10:32 PM

Feel like Jessica Simpson asking this question but so many times I do something without thinking anf f^&% up big time!!

But I was thinking a very simple and most effective way to clean out the interior of my splitty (which is gutted except for the front seats which I could take out) to get rid of all the dirt, dust and shite, would be to take her to the car wash and use the high pressure spray...

Problems I can forsee are electricals (which I could cover) and rust issues... if I took it for a drive on the freeway after and left it in the sun all day is my idea feasible?

Ive done this before with several cars... easiest way to clean them. Just blow out the excess water with a air gun or leave it to dry for a day or so.

You want to make sure that you get the dirt out and don't just end up redistributing it. Have you considered jacking it up on a slight angle to help the water get out?

Glad you asked this question as i was kinda considering it myself.Although living in Melbourne it will probably be another 7 months before we get a sunny day to dry her out!!!!!:o

After you do get all the dirty out i used an old hacksaw blade to clean out the drain hole while water blasting make sure you start up in the roof sill first... n work your way down.

Good time to spray some rust converter into all the hidden seams then hit it with some fish oil of Lanoteck sheep Grease
Watch out for Kiwis... they get excited when you spray the stuff around.
