My engine bay is in reasonable condition - I would like to try and clean / polish up a little the ally block in the V just under the red cam covers - would adremmel and some polish do this or can anyone recommend a decent cleaner ETC suitable - Also something to dress the engine bay as well.
Cheers
Kev.

Re: cleaning engine alloy block
I'm no pro but I would suggest a liberal application of a decent degreaser followed by some 303 after drying?

Re: cleaning engine alloy block
You do have to be careful with degreasers in engine bays as some will stain aluminium and stainless as well as rubbers. http://reflectology.co.uk/gallery-view/r-1ne/ this will do the trick but I do have other products more suited but not yet on the site.
