Hey guys i bought an 04 rx8 50k miles 3 weeks ago. I have made a 1000$ tune up but now i want to clean it. The previous owner never cleaned the engine and underneath its all rusty, salty and oily. Basically he just rustproof every year and never cleaned it.
How do I go about cleaning underneath the car and removing rust? I bought simple green mixed it 50:50 it doesnt seem to do much. Is it safe to spray the alternator cause it looks dirty i want to clean it. The car is also missing the mud guards from inside the front wheels that you normally take out when changing spark plugs. So there is a big hole and all the rain water and snow and **** goes in there and settles on the engine and made it rust.
Any advice would be great,
Thanks

well... Rust isn't very simple to remove. It's not something that cleaner can just rub off.
Do you have any pictures so we can see how serious the rust is?
after i know that I could help you out a little more
