It's looking good so far

Only half done at the moment. Needs a bit more time and a few more tools & products to be finished

Thats the stuff

Sprayed a bit on, gave it a few seconds to work in, then scrubbed it with a microfibre cloth

Really easy & quick to do.

Easier to take them off if poss

The autoglym stuff is quite cheap from Halfrauds

Going to try other stuff on my Merc engine as most of it has black plastic covers
