Thank you everyone.
I can get the thing shinier than it is at the moment and I will, but it will take a few more sessions

........ hopefully one Sat in Crowborough
The engine bay will take many hours to get back to normal like this
To have a bay like this needs addressing every week. It does not take hours on end but 2 hours every week will keep it looking like this,
WIth no attention for 5 months means everything needs bringing back up to how it was. I've had a quick go today but it suggests that many hours are needed.
I will bring the paint back like this as well.
The above pics look okay but I know it can be much better than it is at the moment, and it will be done
