I should use a generic All-Purpose Cleaning liquid like Flash.

I use kitchen sponge and also detergent for dishes (SAT antenna is also the dish ). Make lots of foam and water. I am not sure if there is some special liquid for CM antennas.
Is your dish very dirty? Could you show some picture?

i use kitchen surface surface cleaner with bleach in it and a stiff brush

Fairy liquid; soft and gentle on your dishes, lol

Brush and sugar soap.

Use a pressure washer ?

As long as it's not too high pressure should be fine.

heres the dish... i have a 1m cm here aswell that i cleaned with washing up liquid/hot water/stiff brush and it came up alright i just thought id ask to see if there was something that you guys have used that could be a bit better

I'd still recommend something like Flash All-Purpose .............. and an old Toothbrush will help get into the nooks and crannies.

No problem mate.

Use transparent vinyl for the white areas, they look right that way.

A small amount of Vanish in some warm water and leave for about an hour on the surface, then rinse off

Try the special cleaning fluids used for cleaning the exterior of Camper Vans ......should clean your Dish up like new.......The Dirt will just fall off...and won't damage the original finish.....!!.......

heres the dish...

If that's algae on the dish then you might like to use algae killer/cleaner that's used on caravans.

Best thing to clean a dish is called the wife

Mrs pm. has decided shes going to have a go at making the cm logo out of sticky back plastic, she has a machine which cuts out shapes. i found some of cuts of plastic sheet on eb*y for a couple of pounds which are now in the post, will let you know how she gets on.
