thanks mate but i suppose i should of mentioned that they are not filthy with dirt etc,just ive polished the air con pipes and polished the top suspension turrets and sides that the bonnet sits on but cant get under neath the air con pipes to polish,lol
 
  titanic killer
ooo you meant some kind of brush to clean it with :eek:
i have small enough hands :approve:
You can get your hands under the air con pipes,to clean around the lhs engine mount?can you get out of locked boxes too?lol
seriously thou would you use srp or can you use autosol on that area i.e is it laquered or not?

dont think its lacquered on some areas,mine isnt even sprayed properly in the engine bay as you can see areas that are a greeny blue cos its so thin.id use srp.

and im used to having to maneouvre my hands in engine bays as i have to fit quite a lot bulbs which=fun NOT!lol

autosol is for unpainted metal only isnt it?

AG Engine and machine cleaner and some soft brushes should do the trick.

The use some Quick Detail Spray as it will add some gloss.

tooth brushes rich or something softer?
Tbh i wanted to srp down there but just cant get my hands or fingers anywhere near
when spraying the QD on the area do i just leave it so it leaves a shine
