polished engine bay??

[Anonymous]

how have people done it? Is it possible to do it by hand? And what is required?!

Lots of Autoglym Machine Cleaner or alternatively Gunk (the stuff in a can not the aerosol type). Then lots of patience and lots of shop cloth (like strong kitchen towel). Apply the Gunk with a brush or spray on the Machine Cleaner, leave, agitate with a brush, clean off - best not to let Machine Cleaner dry.

With things made from various plastics Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber car tends to work quite well as both a cleaner and a finish product.

True! Although from my specific point of view the whole lot is going to be on display as it were - no chance of me using the original covers at all...

Keep us updated with pics - I am currently running without my covers as I have a bulkhead.

Would be interested in tarting up engine bay.
