    Whoops accidently left a double clip in there by accident, sorry about that, 7 hours of footage on this one so human error got me :D Hope you all enjoy this filthy cleanup! It's also an Abbot self propelled gun.. not technically a tank, but close enough :D And once again big up to www.youtube.com/@MrHewes for letting me clean it!

    You are making a nice job of that. Its not easy with all the angles. You always think you've got it finished and see something from another angle and need to hit it again. Its the curse of the job.
    During my career as a mechanic i spent a while cleaning earthmoving equipment for repainting and selling.. We hired a high pressure steam cleaner. It could lift the powdery clay off easily along with grease around suspension and engine bays which minimises the use of degreaser saving a lot of money. It was a heavy duty commercial one. It ran a diesel boiler that drank fuel but did a fantastic job. You could turn the pressure way down and still have the heat and clean radiator cores that were full of dirt and grass without blowing out the cores (fins). I learned quickly with the heat you dont need as much pressure a lot of the time. You've put a lot of time into that job and it looks good.

    Wow! Cleaning a tank is an all day job. I used to be a tank mechanic in the 1st Cavalry division. I think you would appreciate the wash racks down there at Fort Hood Texas. We would drive the tracked vehicles through the “bird bath”, followed up by hours under the vehicles doing the tracks, roadwheels and suspension, with a firehose. The packed southern clay and gravel was murder. A de-scaler makes quick work of that stuff when it’s dried out. Enjoyed watching!

However, it still isn't. Tanks have a completely different role to a howitzer, as you will be aware. Tanks are an optimal balance between, mobility, armour and firepower, different to any other type of vehicle.

The suit let in a small amount of water but not much to complain of :)
