Fantastic job car looks amazing AG is amazing stuff I use it in conjunction with Meguirs sometimes if I’ve run out of AG, but not used the vinyl spray in the engine bay as I am a bit wary of causing any damage. Will definitely try some now , down to Halfords

No dramas with regards to damage. Once you cleaned it with the engine cleaner just whack it all over and leave for a few hours then buff up.
