Can the hood insulation piece be cleaned?

cad614 · 06-18-2000, 02:00 AM

I'm getting ready for our local Mustang show, July 8th, and while my engine compartment is starting to look really nice the hood insulation piece is not. I haven't tried anything yet because I was afraid of making it look worse. I want to get it looking new again. Does anyone know of a way to clean this?
Also, does ford sell the under-hood sticker that tells about the engine? It's not looking too well either.

I suggest buying a new (factory) hood insulation piece. 5 minute installation.
$58.65 + S&H from Mustangs Unlimited.

Not sure about the under-hood engine sticker, as Mustangs Unlimited only has emissions decals up to 1990.
Other aftermarket distributors may carry them, or check with a Ford dealer. Should be cheap, either way.

That's what I figured, although I was really hoping to get by without having to buy a new one. Thanks for the info.

i work at a detail shop they just spray some cleaner on it called redhot, i think its a rim cleaner then just use a power washer on it.
