Gone and run out of that at the moment and cant get round to ordering more!! Will do though as soon as ive got xmas out of the way. Will have a bash with the wire wool as mentioned but dont forget, this was only a spruce not a detail.

Well its good that you know that - its not a widely known secret.

Really good transformation on your engine bay.

I always try and hide the fact i'm cleaning my engine bay when I do it....my neighbours think just washing the exterior paintwork more than once a year is going beyond the call of duty...

I'm sure me and 'nut can come to some mutually convenient arrangement.....I know Roy is after one of your funky pipes. Seeing him this evening so will have a word.

treated mine to quick rinse and some 303. wish could get the engine laquer off the strut tops though. it lets the engine bay down

T-cut?

Petrol maybe? IPA? I got some stuff that disolves tar. I guess its just trial and error.

[graemewelch]

ive tried allsort from heavy disgrease, thinners. unsure what do next. getting it painted again just wouldnt be worth it and most body shops would think im nuts

Take a look on www.detailingworld.co.uk

There's a wealth of info and advice on there and a really friendly bunch. I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

Not quite sure what you mean by engine lacquer?? If its the old greasy anti rust stuff they used to put on cars i had the same problem with a golf i did a while back. Didnt have any white spirit to hand which is meant to work but did try Auto Glym Super Resin Polish and with a bit of elbow grease it came off!!
