    Painted engine cover.

    i wouldn't have though a high temp paint would be needed as the cover is only plastic - if the temp was so high under there the cover would melt I did a mk4 Golf gti cover a few years ago using plastic primer and plastic paint (stuff used for bumpers, etc) and it withstood the heat :)

    What is claying?

    It removes 99% of anything that lays on top of the paintwork (overspray, tar, tree sap, etc), i've used it on a few cars and have always been impressed with the results. You use this before polishing/ waxing the car otherwise it'll just take the wax off again. To see the results wipe the clean...
