Cleaning polished parts FAIL

[Tigger]

When I got my engine parts polished up a while back they quckly became all grubby looking with condensation marks & whatever the engine sucks in lol.

I tried to clean it up with some Autosol & a really fine wire wool then buff it up with a MF cloth, looked ok I thought.

If you took the engine cover off first thing you would notice is
FAIL

The difference between what was polished by Impact Metal and my poor attempt at maintaining it is awful

Any tips to bring it back up to it's former glory?

Cheers

Hard work trev, something that you just have to keep on top of, sadly!

Just give it some elbow grease with some autosol on a polishing cloth/pad.

Back to the machine polishers! You'll never get it looking good again...I tried on mine. Just looked dull and tanished.

No one ever sees the engine bay anyway! waste of time imho!

bin the engine cover... they're useless anyway

Then back to Impact Metal and all the polished bits will have the same finish
