you won't have seen my car "the other day" as I live in York, but i'm sure I spotted your car a couple of months back coming out of Sweetbriar Ind Est at the lights as I turned in. Was going to L&R Motor Factors for some bits (old fella has an account there

)

I generally visit Norwich once a month as I have family there, will have to catch up one time

try a bit of mister muscle oven cleaner, i found it better than a degreaser like gunk.

I FOUND THAT THE BEST THING TO USE WAS ALUMINIUM PAINT, IT PICKS UP THE LIGHT BRILLIANTLY AND REALLY SHINES AND YOU CAN GET IN TO ALL THE TIGHT SPOTS THAT A WIRE BRUSH CANT, YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE METAL ENGINE COMPONENTS MATCH, IT IS UNAFFECTED BY HEAT AND STOPS TE ALUMINIUM FROM OXIDISING OVER TIME. A QUICK AND EASY IDEA THAT ONLY COSTS A FEW QUID BUT LOOKS GREAT!

You seem to have CAPS LOCK on mate. Is your keyboard broken?

I reckon if you try some wire wool with Autosol metal polish it will be way on course for a proper shiny bling finish. Then just finish with a cloth with Autosol
