anyone recommend what i can use to clean my hoses with? have tried gunk, seemed to work but has made my hoses sweat by look of it and makes them sticky.
Hoses have since got abit oily again since fitting them back on as had oily hands at the time

Cheers all

i use wd40 on mine after someone told me about it, think it was sporty boy many years ago. works great. if i leave it too long i get a rag and wipe gunk over it as well just to get the poshness back. in fact i need something to do so may go clean some pipes.

dashboard wipes work ok to an extent as well. although the pipes need to be quite clean to begin with, just leaves a shine on them
