What foam did you use on the engine bay please mate? Did you power wash it or gentle rinse?

I didn't use any water Tony.
It's by 3M and it comes from work for cleaning electrical parts ...just spray on and wipe off

OK, cheers for that Wayne. My car needs some under bonnet tlc even at 20k.

Got a few hours at her again tonight.
I decided to get a look at what the ronddles would look like....Well it's not often I use the term perfect....but I think these may just be for this car.

So there off to be refurbed tomorrow.

I've decided to go with red calipers as well to tie in with the seats.
