clarkie34 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 As the weather wasn't playing ball today decided to give the engine bay a spruce up. Weapons of choice. Blackfire Fine Metal Polish. Meguiars G220 Polisher. Decided to give what i thought was a polished strut brace the once over.Got it into the garage under the light only to see swirl city. Test bit,can see the improvement where i ran some tape across to show. Third of the way across and you can see the difference. Job done,still not perfect but a big improvement. As i was in the mood decided to give the catch can a going over.Again once removed and into the garage the lights show the shocking finish of such an expensive bit of kit. Again not 100% but a lot better. Back on the car. Next job to attack the plenum. Quote

scottsoulby Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 nice job mate, wish mine was looking as good as that Quote
clarkie34 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 wow, very shiney wayne Thanks Mike Did you manage to get your wax on? Thanks Scott Will look better once i get the battery/fluid surrounds. Quote
clarkie34 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 Following on with my efforts last week,i gave the plenum the same treatment.It has not been touched since Wales in May. Before. After. Thats me done under there now,unless some one thinks of other shiny bits. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 looks excellent, but its the reason i'm keeping the chrome finish stuff to a minimum. i don't have the inclination to keep polishing something once its fitted. does look absolutely spot on though Quote

Ebized Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I admire you guys for the work you do under the bonnet but as its shut most the time its shame its not viewable through say a perspex bonnet - wild idea I know, but it is one of the joys of rear/mid engined Ferrari's that lets others see what's under the 'bonnet' at any time Just my two-penny's worth Quote
