Yeah I know what you mean by that! GT's are a hard one because for a car that you want to not loose money on that's where the originality can stay and your car will keep it's value because that symbol FPV means a lot!

But also that engine bay like the GT's is really to be appreciated!! Beautiful job in all the polished metal and chrome work! I have done all the tanks and cover's except the injector cover! I have a special XR8 ECU Cover and I know how expensive it becomes! You can spend thousands!! But you can say
that's what you did and I would have bought that off you in a snap!!!

And thank you EXPRESS I understand what is the best way now!
So just one question still, For the Black Plenum cover and the CAI which is made out of the same stuff! Just use a rag and shine it up by just getting the dust off them, but you can use quick detailer on it! And On all the Metal and Paint Under the Bonnet and quarter panels!
Cheers!

But XB GS 351 Coupe Can you tell me what I am actually asking and what is the best product (an actual name of products) for the cleaning and dressing and protecting the plenum? And products (an actual name of one) to make the Black heads look really good After they have been cleaned?
And have you XB GS 351 Coupe had anything go wrong when washing a BOSS 260?

So Please people I just want HELP in Learning what's Best for my Car! so if you can't help with what questions I ask just don't put a comment!

Any reputable brand will do, they all do the same thing.

It's more about putting the time in rather than the product you use.

Engine bays of my past daily drivers, Never really used degreaser as such when I do it's the $2 spray can from Supercheap.

This, you'll also be surprised what baby wipes can remove.

BBQ wipes go well as well, I just use spray detailer and an old T shirt most of the time..
