Just good old Brasso. Be warned though, once you start polishing, you won't want to stop.

Superb Cliff, keep at it

2 years ago, an AA man attended LJW. He said it was refreshing to see everything looking so clean under the hood. He told me how he is a member of a classic Jaguar car club and every few months, he lifts the engine right out to clean and polish it. An enthusiast

Perhaps that is your next step?

Would love that, but sadly I just don't have the skills; confidence; or equipment to do it. Would be fun though. Last time I had the belts changed, I think I drove Lates mad. Everytime he took something off the car I'd be hovering over him to see if it neeeded a polish.

The hardest part is making a start. Now you've done that, keep at it and you'll be surprised how much progress you make.
