I have struggled recently getting my hoses (radiator, heater & Etc) clean after 4x4ing. The mud seems to bake itself into the hoses making it hard to remove.
Friend gave me some advice so i thought i'd share.
Give them a good spray with tyre shine / silicone spray, let it soak in for an hour or so. This helps loosen the dirt / mud from the rubber.
Spray them again with Degreaser.
With the degreaser and a rag in hand, spray them and give them a good rub.
Finish off with tyre shine / silicone spray
only took about 15 minutes
Unfortunately I don't have before pics but it turned out pretty good.
