Winter jobs on suspension

I had my suspension rebuilt a short while back.

While it’s a big soggy outside I thought I might clean everything again and reprotect.

What do you clean with?
Same question again for recoating.

Can’t help with your questions but following as I need a full suspension (wishbones) refresh.

Some sort of powerful degreaser/APC and then ACF50 (or XCP) on everything, but then Bilt Hamber UC on any horizontal surfaces that can pool water such as top of balljoints etc. this cures like a thick wax.

I use Bilt Hammer Dynax, either clear or black (harder wearing). It finishes nicely and I’ve never felt the need to strip and refresh, I just replace parts when they are needed.

Oooooh I didn’t realise they did it in black!

The clear stuff cures with a yellow tinge which is fine, but it also can attract dust a bit. Black would look loads nicer.

It is soft and gets dusty but if you ever want to remove it some white spirit in a garden spray and it is gone. TBH, black looks good for me, it’s the suspension on a car, paying a load to have it gold and red does not float my boat but each to their own.
