    its all hard work, i stripped most of mine down and cleaned the parts 1 by one, then i used metal polish and buffed up all the metal parts

    takes ages to do a good job, the more time spent cleaning, the better the finnished result

    multi surface cleaner is good for rubber pipes etc etc
    i was a car valater for 5 years and i picked up more then enough tricks (and products ;) ) to keep me on top

    once its done, a simple wipe down every few days can keep most of it spot less

    ta, its just..............i cant strip a car. i can clean it, fill it with petrol and top up the water/anti-freeze, change the break pads and handbrake cable but thats about it.

    hmm. can you take it to a garage and get it done like that??:D

    you can pay for a engine steam clean and get it reasonabley clean

    but it wont be concourse standerds, they will steam the thick of the grime off and lash sum engine dressing over it,it will look loads better, but its not the perfect solution, depends if you want it a bit tidier or you want it so you could eat your dinner off, a steam clean and dressing is usualy a better option if you dont show your car at events, ring sum valaters for a engine dress priceing session
