Tanks need to be white!

Does anyone know how to clean the coolent and wiper tanks? My engine bay looks nice, but I can get those thing to look "new." I really dont want to have to buy new ones, what should I do?

try maybe using some engine degreaser and a hose, or better yet a pressue washer if you have one.

Use Varsol or engine degreaser. Will remove 99%. New tank maybe cheap too if you're picky.
When you have the tank out clean the calcium deposits from inside using CLR or vinegar.
