Default Cleaning Under Hood Insulator
Any one have a clue hoe to clean the under hood insulator? Somehow there are numerous dirt spaces on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I put the extension wand on my canister vacuum cleaner and vacuum the insulation with the brush on the end of the wand. It works pretty well.

I'd stick with brushing and vacuuming. Maybe blot a bit with a damp cloth but I would not wet it down.

Woolite and water for stains and the canister vacuum for dust and loose dirt.

Here's a tip I tried and it works nicely. Armor All wipes. Just wipe over your pad lightly and it'll shine it up like new.
