Very good results indeed 

I did mine at the weekend but it was quite clean so only took a few hours. That must of taken the best part of a day! A credit to your hard work

Tried the Autosol on my throttle body casing tonigjht, and it didn't touch it! Do you guys just use a cloth and elbow grease, or is there a trick I'm missing?  :-/

Yep, just elbow grease I'm afraid matey!   But, if yours is really badly marked, would sanding it down gently with some fine-grit sandpaper first do the job??  :-/

Yeah good thinking! Might try some fine wet n dry!! 

Just another thought on this Twiglet - before attacking it with sandpaper, try putting the Autosol on a green scouring pad - a bit less aggresive, and it may just do the job 

It's a shame you're not a bit closer to this neck of the woods, or else I'd have a do at it for you...

Cheers Stu! 

Aye, about 4 hours of a job it was, but it'd obviously never been done before.  I've vowed to keep on top of it now, so in future it should just be a case of a quick wash-down and polish-up - fingers crossed!

Good man    I have vowed to do the same. I recon twice a year should do it as the bonnet has a good seal to it

Are you coming to the essex meet on the 23rd? I'll bring me autosol and the wife's scouring pad....

Unfortunately not Twiglet - Essex it a bit too far away from Wigan

Yeah you're probably right! lol.  I've taken a picture on my progress so far with the engine detailing.  I'll post it up later!

Look forward to seeing the pics Twiglet

Haven't got round to sorting out the throttle body yet, but this is what she looks like at the moment...



(Hopefully someone can re-jig it so that you don't have to click on the link)
