I've tried scrubbing it with a toothbrush and detergent, but it doesn't seem to be any better. I upped the coarseness of the brush and well, it scratched up a bit of it

Any recommended solutions for brightening it up?

 

off or on the car?

 

simple green, brake cleaner, carb choke cleaner???

and try crubbing it with a lagers and semi-rough brush

Ahh, forgot to specify, OFF the car.

 

Try lacquer (sp?) thinner if NOTHING else works. Stuff is strong.

 

u could beadblast it if worse came too worse.. but brake cleaner should work good.. throttle body cleaner a lil better, but dont get it in oil .. n maybe a brass brush?

 

i usually use a degreaser. works fine.

 

rubbing compound works good

 

Varsal and a wire brush and a bucket.

 

degreaser and pressure washer

 

if its off the car, go have it hot tanked.....the guy i bought my skunk2 IM off of hot tanked it for me before shipping it...by the time i got it, it looked brand new inside and out!

 

Engine Degreaser and wire brush FTW!

 

i would say beadblast it..ive tried a lot of the things above and sometimes its just too basly stained...a quick beadblast will get that thing looking like new

 

Hot tank FTW!

 

Well, it's not too terribly dirty, just not as shiny. I'll try the cheaper methods first. Thanks all.
