Doesn't your car have a DPF anyway?

You need something closer to Tardis, to dissolve or dilute the bonding agents. Cleaning the inside isn't easy nor worth the effort.

Get one of those wire brush attachments that fit a drill. Used with Autosol you should get it cleaned.

Something like this

I've got a few similar things just battery on drill lasts about 2 mins may borrow my kids electric toothbrushes I'm sure they wont notice

Perhaps wire wool and autosol?

I just use oven cleaner on mine, always does the job nicely. Just don’t get it on anything else.
My preferred method is mr muscle spay on stuff, applied when dry, left for 10 mins, attack with brush then pressure wash off.

1. Autosol
   
2. Autosol + fine wool
3. Gunk or equivalent
4. Petrol
   
5. Oven Cleaner
6. T Cut
   
7. Harpic x10
8. Brasso Duraglit

They all work to varying degrees of success but a combination of the above will work best. Along with patience.

Items 2 and 8, one after the other, are my preference.

Try some of the spray on oven cleaner ...... leave to soak in, then VERY FINE steel wool.
Be careful with the cleaner, it is vile stuff, keep away from paintwork, and try not to breath it in either !

Are the tips removable?

 

[Peter Norman]

Probably but not going down that route as knowing my luck the buggers won't go back on

Try using two stroke oil in the diesel fuel and you don`t get the black smoke or much crud out the back.
