Cleaning catalytic converter off car.


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm getting a stainless mid pipe fitted and am swapping my CAT and wanted to clean it while it was off.

Has anyone done this and had success with the soap and water method?

 

Regards

I've not previously heard that you can clean a cat with soap and water. Of course there are very many kinds of soap, some of which have all kind of additives in and you want to be sure that nothing gets left of the catalyst that could affect the performance. I think a really simple basic soap would be best. I'd make a point of doing the washing then immediately rinse so nothing ever dries out. I wonder if the final rinse might be best done with deionised water. I don't think you'd want to leave and calcium on the cat.

 

For cleaning a cat on car, somebody once told me that there's an American product made by "Justice Bros" which is very good , but never needed to use it.
