cleaned rocker cover



its a lot better but by no means clean. its just so awkward to get into the nooks and crannies. this pic does it too much justice if anything

Deffo needs painting though

Pfft dont need to cover anything when cleaning. Your safe as long as you dont act like a twat when steaming it. I do it 3-4 times a day and never once had anything go wrong.

Looks good,

As wilson said, dont need to cover anything, Ive used and so has most of my mates used a power washer on the eninges of ours..

What we do is leave the car running when doing so. have someone inside the car with there feet on the acc pedal holding the revs around 3k

never had a single problem once
