I used the Surfex at the recommended dilution in a spray bottle and an old paintbrush to agitate it on the surface. Holy cow this stuff is good! The sump pan came up bright and shiny inside and out with just a couple of mins cleaning. Thanks for the recommendation I can see this is going to get a lot of use.

Glad that you are happy with the result Mike,
I've been using it for a good few years now and would never go back to solvent cleaners.  A farmer friend came round recently for a job on his Manitou which was caked in grease and cow shite.  After we had finished, our hands were filthy - 'Wash em in the parts washer' was my comment.  He thought it was a wind up as the fluid looked filthy but we both ate the sandwiches Christine had made with hands that looked like we had never done a day's work in our lives - he too was suitably impressed.
 I do this regularly and never suffer from splits or cracks like I did with solvent cleaners.  As we've said, B H have some fantastic products - not cheap but excellence never is!

Don’t suppose there’s any of our local stores stock that stuff Ian? Maybe just available by post?

I don't know of anywhere in Orkney and always go direct and there's always other stuff I need (check out Ferrosol and Deox-C) The postage costs are not bad but if you want stuff from them, give me or Donnie or Erlend H a shout first, we all use their stuff - we might be able to split postage costs.

Now there's a thought!
Wonder if Jolly Gordon fancies becoming our local BH stockist? He's always up for a challenge and I'm sure others will see how good their products are.  Will speak when I get back from our adventures,
